That was my X15 up to Berwick a few weeks ago, didn't sound too good, was also very late. Is it frequently breaking down?

Yeah, it's currently the least reliable E400 at Ashington. It's broken down twice in two weeks.

That isn't great, but if that's the worst, then that signals that the rest are doing okay?
RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - September 2016
2814 and 1766 were on the frequenta 64 earlier
And...
1761 was on the 24X.

1491 is about to go out on the 5/5a to replace a Streetlite
And as everyone is reporting then (despite the fact they are currently booked to appear as Stockton have more MAX boards than buses plus the two extra Stockton workings are down for standard vehicles) 1444 is today's non-MAX on the X12 but it will only be working one trip (1105 from Middlesbrough)
