I have a feeling this might have been part because of the closure from South Gosforth to Blue House Roundabout, it's been wrecking havoc with the timetables.

https://bustimes.org/vehicles/anum-ane-7.../334211969 - That should've went onto the 53 but it was an hour late by the time it go to Cramlington and Arriva Blyth have rightly or wrongly been prioritising their own routes first and trying to sort the mess out on the X7/X8/X9 which has been a shambles since the timetable change.
