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

Doubt Arriva will invest though sadly.

Many of the breakdowns occurred on Newcastle bound journeys so many ended up being round trips dropped bunking the number of journeys not ran up, the other issue is if a bus goes down then the driver is stuck with the broken down bus so even if there's another bus avaliable, there may not be a driver to drop into the route to pick a journey up.

I'd say this is still a fairly regular number of breakdowns to occur in one 24 hour period for a depot, it just so happened all cancelled journeys were posted via the company's social medias, you'll get similar numbers if you go through say, the GNE Facebook on any given day or any other firm that regularly posts service disruptions.
