Arriva Driver Shortage 2026
Does anyone know what's going on with Ashington tonight, there's some nasty gaps floating around especially the 2.5 hour gap on the X21 leaving Newcastle and the 35 is every 2 hours, as of writing?

Assume it's not fleet related at this time of night. I know there was talk of other depots bailing out the Stockton mess but they can't be stupid enough to cause massive issues elsewhere to bail out another depot?

Stockton have drivers on loan from Birkenhead, Selby and Luton to help out their situation
