As soon as they start suffering delays, they start picking up more passengers who have started to wait for the next bus, and so the delays continue and the buses end up starting to bunch up and overtaking each other at each stop.
The "Angel" B5s actually only have 66 seats compared to the "Tyne Tees Xpress" examples which have 73. I much prefer the B5s to the B9s on the basis that they're more spacious.
Probably for another thread but I'd consider registering short workings Birtley - Chester/Durham and Newcastle - Harlow Green, at least at peak
