September 2022 Service Changes
Rumour has it that it wasn't a cyber attack. Apparently they tried to update the enthusiasts page with a new fleetlist and it overloaded the servers.

Tonight I was on the 60 and saw a driver parked up in the loading bay beside Costa, in either 729/730, opposite the termination point of the 65 route at the harbour, so was this a part of the September 2022 changes to start changeovers from Seaham instead of Hetton, as according to bustimes.org 5394 (16:35 from Durham) arrived at the harbour for 17:32, 12 minutes late. Then the trip must have ended and the earliest time on the map for the return journey is 6 minutes later at 17:38 so the most reasonable answer is that the ticket machine was awkward. Still, another reason could be due to a possible driver changeover. And looking at bustimes either the same driver was on the 65 all day or they are doing changeovers at Seaham or Durham with Seaham making the most sense.
