Yeah, it could have gone smoother.
I can forgive them for the breakdown, that's something that is unavoidable at times and could have happened to any bus with any operator, the thing that got me was the fact we had two drivers attending to the stricken Dart, was that really necessary? If they just left the broken Dart, the 16/15 would have continued on as normal (maybe a few minutes late) and the M1 would have just not run but instead we had the M1 not running and the 16/15 running 45 minutes late as a result. I do wonder if any other passengers originally intended to catch the 15:50 15 from Rothbury as I was the only passenger all the way to Alnwick.
