726 Sunderland Connect tracking on X9 and X10 this morning. Surely a ticket machines tracking error!

Making my first venture out on a bus since March when I returned from London, I fell suspect to two odd workings on the same journey. First up was Solo 698 on the 1A which was then replaced by B9TL 6108 at High Flatworth. Also passed a Citaro on the 1A heading towards Metrocentre down the coast. Unfortunatley my trip was in vain as it turned out upon arrival at the hospital my appointment with the physio had been cancelled.

No idea if it is connected or not to either of the Volvo's appearing.

7125 and 26 which were supposed to be used for scholars and their move to Riverside had nothing to do with the X9/10 according to posts on here, have also appeared quite a bit.
I tend not to use bus-times too much for obvious reasons, but this screenshot
apparently shows what the allocation has been up to recently.
I think it was yesterday that GNE tweeted about a breakdown in the morning and how the X10 was diverting in to Peterlee.
I don't imagine the powers that be, envisaged these coaches would be allocated so often, for so long and although I've not used them, I'd expect them to be past their best and not up to the rigours of everyday work on the A19.

No idea which scholars they were meant for, it was just what was said on here at the time.
