When a service is cancelled for, say, a breakdown, why do they sometimes give a 'start' and 'terminating' point of the service that's not the actual start/end point of the route?

Bus might have expired at Framwellgate Moor in that example meaning the service will not continue past the next timing point. So, the 1026 (or whatever it was) service from University Hospital will not operate to West Auckland.

In another example, let's pretend the X21 goes to Barnard Castle, a bus and/or driver may have been sourced by the depot enabling the service to run. However the service has been regulated to get the bus back on time, thus it might start at a point, in this example West Auckland, where it is convenient to continue the journey as normal.
