Only arrived into Gateshead towards Newcastle 8 minutes late - what happened?! An Angel which was at Gateshead with it ended up getting to Durham Rd back towards Durham about five minutes before 9131 arrived...
It arrived late and the X30 was on the stand so it had to pull onto the service 21 stand, it left about 10 minutes late. We had a ticket inspector between Gateshead and Chester. Because we pulled onto the wrong stand someone thought it was the 21 and wanted to get off near the Angel and they let her off at her stop. Got stuck in traffic coming onto Chester-le-Street Front Street. People were confused about the bus, some asking why it looked different. A wheelchair user boarded at Pity Me and got off at the University Hospital. Then it picked up loads of school kids and college students. We stopped at almost every stop between Durham and Bishop Auckland.
The late arrival meant I had to wait 20 minutes for service 5A home.
