Anyone got any records for buses running late but haven't been taken out of service. I looked at the Arriva app tonight and an X21 was running 39 minutes late. I don't know if there was an error but blimey!

Here's one for starters. One cold and rainy night back in November, Newcastle was gridlocked and none of the Coast Road services showed up for a short while from either GNE or Arriva. The 1623 308 didn't show up neither did the 1635 306. The queue for stand L was more like a match night and just before 1645, the 1623 showed and left a couple of minutes later looking like a can of sardines! I knew not to get on that one and waited in good faith for the 1643 to show which it did and left at 1655. At about 1730, I was on the 1643 and passed the 1623 service at the Silverlink. We eventually got to Rake Lane at 1740 and as I was walking from there, the 1623 showed up 50 minutes later than scheduled.
