They even missed the 57 this morning 7:41, and then the next 57A 8:16 was 20 minutes late by Whitley Bay. 1404 came on this working in time for the 57A back (so they won't receive any fine for missing the contracted part), but was still in Morpeth on the 777 earlier.
Arriva should hire in some buses as GNE did last year, ADL dealer stock. Or bring in older Arriva stuff from elsewhere (but ADL dealer stock would be easier as when those are hired in isn't all maintenance the responsibility of ADL so then it would not take engineers away from fixing up the normal fleet, even if that is not the case, newer stuff would be more reliable).
Not acceptable how Arriva are totally ok with this until new buses arrive.

I don't know why a lot of my posts seem to post multiple times sorry.
Also, is there any hope with some buses like 3051 or 7530 ever being up to standard? Very unreliable.
