I''ve known times, and only recently, when I've been waiting at MBS to travel home and it's being announced that certain X93 trips will operate due to breakdowns, the only advice being offered is to wait for the next service. I know it's not easy/practical to conjure up a replacement bus/driver but for a service like the X93 I think it's something that should be considered.
Stockton don't have any buses with calibrated tacho's and nor do we have drivers on EU hours and therefore any spare vehicle/driver would have to come from Redcar to cover a full length journey. Stockton can cover to Guisborough to meet a replacement vehicle as stated this can and does happen if need be. All depends on Stockton having spare capacity though. Redcar/Whitby provide a spare vehicle/driver in Middlesbrough now anyway so there shouldn't be many issues.
