A B9TL or even E400 wouldn't have had to do that! I think it's likely that a move of 4 Gemini's from Blyth to Redcar will be on the cards or if they get a good going over and the new buses for the X18 get delivered, it could well be the 4 57 reg DB250's ending up on it because despite them being hammered of the X18, the powerful engine may make up for the age of them. Or on that note, 4 DB300's might get transferred from Blyth to Redcar and in turn, 4 DB250's from Ashington will go to Blyth.
The flyover approaching the Redheugh Bridge has a 10' 6" height restriction northbound (presumably because of winds, I'm not sure, and it doesn't seem to be signed southbound) so technically the TEN should use the left-hand lane via the roundabout, the route you saw on the video.
