One driven by an engineer on A1, heading southbound at services.
Passing a NIS one, heading north at same time.
Four were heading north between the Gateshead Highway and Aletaster, one in Birtley and two in Chester. One was blinded up for Gateshead - during a short trip out.
The lights/works in Birtley had been packed away when I drove through - despite seeing the 21's packed together just moments earlier.
Aye, you cannot just get buses back on time at a drop of a hat either. Drivers delayed earlier will still need a meal break, only so many spare drivers available and once they out on service, not a lot you can do.
