The same 307/354 journeys appeared to run into issues this morning, 5445 came to a standstill at Devonshire Gardens stop (arrived at 06:15 and was still there at 06:55), 5480 seemingly sent to the rescue for driver of 5445 with the 06:30 354 starring somewhat around Shiremoor.
5449 was late running for much of the morning/afternoon until it got to the 12:15 351 off Newcastle by which point it was 30+ minutes late which resulted in the 13:22 359 departure off North Shields being cancelled along with the 13:59 335 to Hadrian Park being started from Benton Asda.
The first 354 out of Newcastle did operate but seemed to track as the wrong board for part of the journey https://bustimes.org/vehicles/gnel-6176?.../472714610
