"Due to a breakdown, the 09:25 Newcastle to West Auckland X21 journey (Durham 10:35; Bishop Auckland 11:13) has terminated at University Hospital of North Durham. We apologise for the inconvenience."
then, if necessary,
"Due to a breakdown, the 11:41 West Auckland to Newcastle X21 journey (Durham 12:46; Chester-le-Street 13:09) will start at Bishop Auckland Bus Station at 12:07. We apologise for the inconvenience."?
(just to be clear, I've checked and both are well within Twitter's character limit)
Yes, I know it's a week later.
Do people generally care where their bus has come from? If I am waiting in Chester-le-Street for the X21 to Newcastle, I do not need to know (nor do I care) that the service has started in West Auckland. I am only looking at the direction of the bus, based on the terminus displayed on the destination screen.
I can't see any issue with how the tweet is formatted.
