Getting ridiculous now!
Fed up with this now and I can only imagine this is only going to continue to get worse especially with the route being made longer by running via Hitachi from the end of the month.
And why the hell did they take 3 minutes running time out of the Shildon - Aycliffe section of the route and slot it into the Aycliffe - Darlington section which seems so pointless as this section didn't need the extra running time, it's the Bishop - Shildon section that needed it.
