But 11 full journeys dropped in a circa 24 hour period! That screams investment is needed badly!

Doubt Arriva will invest though sadly.

11 full journeys in 24 hours is one or two buses extra VOR. If it continues for a week then, yes, there's clearly a big issue - however you can't really base it on a 24 hour period. 

Virtually all of their buses will have been parked up since the 24th, which is likely a contributing factor. Standard of Blyth maintenance being another - it's never been fantastic. 

Of course investment is needed, but realistically all depots will have a bad couple of days every now and then.
