I believe 2855 was engine failure, but yeah I don't see them going much longer, especially with full size single decks being freed up.
Yeah that's true, it was more about trying to get an even service heading South though tbf. It's quite a pain currently having the current 25/35 service.
(I'm the South end of the route
and the detour from Annitsford through Northumberland Business Park, to see Cramlington in the distance, to then double back on the A1171 when it's not needed anymore. The A1171 is a traffic blackspot at peaks aswell). Obviously I don't know the loadings but can't imagine there's many on the short section near the Black Horse heading towards the Whitley Bay.
