(22 Feb 2016, 4:17 pm)Cock Robin Three consecutive X12s 7456, 1455 and 1459!

And 1468 on 5/5A!

Nightmare with Pulsars breaking down today!
1455 replaced 1415, 1459 replaced 1443, 1468 replaced 1512!

I think 1441 is off for test prep and 1550 off with accident damage.
Unlucky that most of our branded Pulsars decided to die in one day lol

1415 was actually Stockton's first X12 out the door this morning too. Roughly when was it replaced, out of interest?

A different type of MAX is on the 8/8A today in the shape of 1416, it's on the 08:45 8 from Darlington
