The 16:05 308 actually ran 40 minutes late at 16:45. Think that and 7612 (which should have been the 16:25) were in Haymarket at the same time, so I imagine it made sense to use one of those to replace what appears to be a failed Pulsar on the 47 at the same time?
Either way, it seems like it was something to do with the Coast Road which caused them the most problems given they were the only services with huge delays, and that some 307/309s were also impacted.
Been two missing boards on the X7/X8/X9 during the day but they found two extra buses at peak time. Seems that they came off the 308 though and one off the 43. Guessing they found the buses by the time it got to the X9.
Not sure nothing happened on the Coast Road though as far as I'm aware just the usual traffic.
There was a lot of swapping buses around at Blyth today to regulate stuff tho mind. Mind there does seem to be new drivers about today maybe they put them all on the 306/308? Noticed one of the 57's today done the 57A route as far as Annitsford before turning around.
