They are obviously knackered, very unreliable and need to be replaced. I bet they must be a nightmare for the engineers.
However, I have never seen these buses off route (on another service).
Knackered isn't the word!, hoping they're replaced this year, would be great to have E400's on it, they need Euro 6 buses soon anyway, but the route needs something much younger than 13 year old buses!
Even more so, when they're the only Omnilinks in the NE.

Stagecoach clearly thought, the X24 wouldn't work, and just got old buses instead of something newer, that's proved to be a wrong move!
