This will be 7557, believe it suffered engine failure.

It is relentless. They look to have finally given up with 7564 now.
An X18/15 was missing this morning for the best part of 5 hours.
An X20 also failed in Newcastle, and they dropped a full X30 and X20 back to Ashington before picking it up again 3 hours later for the trip to Alnwick.
As much as the engineering department are bad, the people in charge of service regulation some days seem equally clueless - this is also clear to see in the allocations. Some days they make sense, other days it's like they've thrown darts to decide what goes where.
