No, it's just the delays today. I saw 4 X1's come consecutively at Eldon Square

Appears to be a duplicate checking bustimes, your bus was the right bus and that just done the one run. Guessing it was for the football.

Percy Main often operate dupes on the coast road services on matchdays- particularly on evenings.

They are probably the only depot who can in fairness, other depots wouldn’t have the drivers.
