Northstar provided three buses at short-notice yesterday (421, 422, 435) due to other operators failing to provide the vehicles they said they would.

Shaws of Durham also provided two additional vehicles at short-notice (coaches, not double-deck buses).

Northstar was planned to provide three vehicles today, and has been increased by a further two vehicles (to five) at short notice for the same reason as above today.

I am told the breakdown for today/tomorrow is:
- 30x Go North East
- 25x JH Coaches
- 15x DM Motor Services
- 5x Northstar
- 5x City Transport / A&A Coach Travel
- 2x Stanley Travel
- 2x Shaws of Durham
