Doesn't seem like Blyth is in much better shape, I fancied a change and thought I'd use the bus because I haven't used it for awhile and I'll be lucky if this shed gets back (7602) with absolutely zero heating to boot.
Something very wrong and whatever it is they've forced a restart to get it moving
Noticed it's been off road for the past 3 days so it seems like it's not just Ashington throwing things out which shouldn't be out.
Just reminded me why I use the train tbh.

Thankfully it grinded itself back, just had a little look around BusTimes and there seems to be gaps creeping in again.
Guessing the E400MMC's were masking the issues.
