Not sure what happened as last time we used it, they used to have a long cattlepen queue line and it worked well to be fair.
Small world, assuming both were at Oasis on Wednesday mind, seems like half the North East was there.
Yes, I was there for Oasis on Wednesday night.

Think Ashington has had a few breakdowns with the E400MMCs recently when on the likes of the express services to Alnwick, Redcar/Whitby are having issues with certain examples too, 7580 being one which isn't wanting to work properly, when I went to Scarborough a few weeks back, 7580 was having issues, it had to really struggle up the hills heading out of Fylingthorpe before giving up at the top of the last one and we had to wait for the next X94 - this was after being sat just outside Guisborough for an hour with 7403 which I think had an AdBlue fault or something.
