RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings
But they should only be getting used on the 308 if that's what they got the grant for. OK, if another Thunder Thursday like event was to happen and if no X10 or X11 was going to get into Blyth for three hours, then fair enough. But on a day to day basis, they should be working the 308 and if they have to come off for some reason or another (breakdowns or very late), then they should be reallocated back on the 308 at the first opportunity and not be used on the Quroum's, X10/11 or X13 unless it's in extreme circumstances. If they want to use a vehicle that's made it in on time from the above express buses to keep the 308 to time, then they should have a spare in place to fill in for that bus on the concerned express service and not a bus that is being subsidised by the green bus fund to be used on the 308.
