Is Blyth's driver shortage this bad that 4 x X7's following each other to Newcastle according to the app are cancelled later on, meaning that places like New Hartley, Seaton Delaval and Seghill do not have a bus for over 2 hours.

From Seaton Delaval the 1207, 1237, 1307 and 1337 are all cancelled, so 1137 and next one is 1407, which is rather poor to say the least, and whatabout the depot trying to shuffle the pack to try and at least operate 2 of the 4 and maybe drop an X10, X11 (combined) or 308 when combined with 309 all operate on a higher frequency
