MPD 555 was working the X85/X84 today arriving in Hexham as X85 around 14:50.
I had arrived (14:47) and I left (14:53) on the Ten - running on schedule due to the improved timing of the traffic lights on Corbridge bridge - we had to wait at Hexham Hospital to avoid arriving early.
X84 and X85 alternate (X85 due out 14:48, X84 due out 14:05).
(For some time now, Corbridge bridge lights have had a significant delay between ends - Ten drivers reckoned they were losing 6 to 8 minutes off the schedule by running into Corbridge centre. New lights were fitted last week and they now change within a couple of seconds.)
