Arriva North East: 4814 / WX13GHN by danielgrahamm, on FlickrAll in all, a fairly successful day of operation on service 21, despite the delays...
Traffic lights near Darlington were reportedly causing delays of 10+ minutes according to one driver, a shortage of change also meant that drivers had to stop for a little while to exchange cash, and general issues with doors, wing mirrors and unknown factors (4813 kept on bleeping every two minutes, and the driver seemed to be unable to identify what was causing it) caused delays too. Thankfully, the 10+ minute layover in Peterlee helped reliability a lot.
Look forward to seeing them in Sunderland tomorrow - though I do have a feeling 4812 will be VOR tomorrow as the driver kept on filling out that defect card every time he had a problem with the doors!
