I'm not 100% sure whether the Arriva Northumbria shortages today has been Covid related or whether they 'ran out' of buses.
At Blyth:
1461 is obviously VOR
1501 appears to have broken down at South Beach on the X7 at around 15:30
7410 is broken
7606 I guess is VOR
7630 got pulled off early this morning
7633 also got pulled off this morning
Similar has been going on at both Ashington and Jesmond aswell, seems to be a dropped X21 around 4pm board while the 57 has had a decker since the usual Solos are broken again (2809) and Jesmond has had a selection of Solos on the 52/53/54 boards which isn't normal neither.
I could be wrong though.
