It's just resulting up in this:
I respect there's serious issues at Ashington, but surely anyone with brains would see it's better to really piss off one group of passengers rather than pissing everyone off.
Damage limitation etc.
There are literally BBC News articles about the state of the services at Ashington, and days where upwards of 10 services aren't running. Blyth missing a couple of boards is tiny in comparison - there looks to have been a big gap in the 7/8/10/11 cycle mid-afternoon but I'm more inclined to believe that was vehicles not tracking than actual missed services.
My understanding is that from tomorrow only one vehicle will be on loan from Blyth - who also still have the electric demo - so realistically they're level on paper.
