One of the Enviro200s broke down. It was quicker to loan a bus from A-line and reinstate the service from Jarrow (minimising lost mileage) than use one of Northstar’s own spare buses. Probably would have meant an entire round trip would have been lost instead of just Sunderland to Jarrow.
The B7RLE was returned to A-line after a couple of hours once an engineer repaired the E200. Was only a small issue, likely caused by the roads in Hebburn which are in absolutely dire condition.
