The late running is not helped by the vehicle situation as normally if vehicles are available they would swap at Ashington and send out a fresh vehicle but there hasn't been the availability to do so so the 57A ran 30 minutes late.

Normally the mini solo's I have not been a fan of, but I hope 2601 and 2 stick around for a while as without them there would not be enough vehicles for the 57 and 57A, and some of the other vehicles have been so poor. 7506 absolutely freezing!!! At least 2601 and 2 have heating on them! So they are actu8ally quite comfy at the moment!
