It's hard to say whether it's vehicle related though or engineering; Riverside, Consett and Washington have been a shambles for months now, as an understatement.

Asides from the X10 which even 6043-48 had trouble doing, got to be engineering related considering in context that Ashington and Redcar seem to keep their MMCs on the road doing much harder worm even if patchy at times.

And even though GNE's are ZF instead of Voith, Arriva's late registered ZF classics didn't give too bad of a service on the Ashington & Alnwick work
