Started 25 minutes late, 33 minutes late by Middlesbrough. Left Middlesbrough 37 minutes late, arrived in Newcastle 54 minutes late. Left Newcastle 42 minutes late, and is currently 47 minutes late at Heworth on the way back north.

There would have been a driver change at GHM between trips to Middlesbrough, so why on earth wasn't it regulated given that it's running near enough an hour behind schedule? Equally, it evidently cannot keep to schedule (assuming this is one of the ones limited to about 45mph for some bizarre reason), so why wasn't the vehicle swapped for something more suitable for the 1310 ex-Newcastle?

Yet more shocking service delivery by GNE and the clowns running Riverside.

I have to question as to why it dwelled in Middlesbrough Bus Station for 15 minutes? Although frim what I've heard from a passenger, driver was in no hurry to leave, likely a ploy to drop part of their next duty. 6225 is indeed one of the low speed limited examples too.
