Unfortunately, due to a breakdown, service #X7 from Middlesbrough at 1720 didn't operate. The replacement vehicle will begin operating from Peterlee Bus Station at 1810. We're sorry for any inconvenience this has caused.
I believe you're right with that one, Michael. I believe, in terms of passenger numbers, the "Crusader" is one of Go North East's top performers. It is for this reason that the Mercs were not repainted, and given an in-house livery design, as it was expected that the Mercs wouldn't last long on there.
Don't think I missed any repaints off when I was doing the fleet lists (at least not ones from the past five years or so), other than the "Route 19" branded Scania L94s (now "Fast Cats") which I do have the details of, so will get round to updating them as soon as I can.
