4652 on the 1/5/5A/19.Cool Exclamation
When and where did you see 4652 and on what service? Wouldn't mind a ride on it to see how it is inside since MAX refurbishment.


RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - February 2016 - Jimmi - 03 Feb 2016

(03 Feb 2016, 1:53 pm)Lee Sinclair I passed it when I was on the X1 (1416) in New Shildon. At the time it was on the 1 going to Bishop Auckland. It will be on the 5/5A going back to Darlington now mate. Wink

Thanks.

Hopefully that means it's half an hour behind the 5A I'm on to Darlington now.

(03 Feb 2016, 1:55 pm)Jimmi Thanks.

It's on the 1339 5 Bishop - Darlington, in Newton Aycliffe now around 5 late.
4658 is on 1348 X75 Barney - Darlington around 11 late in Gainford at present
I'll also add that 1508 is on X26/X27, 1340 X26 out of Darlington.

What is going to be so different to the insides of 4652/8 as a result of their MAX refurbishment?

The reason was because someone mentioned something about USB charging points on them and there is indeed some on the backs of the seats.

The 16:30 494 has Longbenton DSS as on the front destination panel yet it's route is in the opposite direction to Newbiggin. The only 494 to Longbenton DSS is the 6:01am.

It also wasn't being tracked in the app. Driver set the wrong route?

 With the wrong destination I assume the driver selected 04940001 by mistake. 

The 494 never ever gets tracked, maybe because it runs SNIS from Ashington to Jesmond instead of from Newbiggin...

I assume it's probably an easy error to make when the Benton-Newbiggen route's only ran once a day.

However, I've definitely had the 494 show tracking data in the app before but maybe that instance itself was caused by some other error.

Think I just saw 4658 on service 7 to Ferryhill. Certainly appeared to be an unbranded Omnicity.

7413 and 7415 on 35. 7415 expired at Morpeth just before 1300, the joys.

It does get tracked, unless I've been seeing mythical buses......
