Blyth had at least one Pulsar on either the 1 or 2 earlier. I was too far away to see which service, and didn't check the time when I saw the first one to see whether it was that I saw the second time, or a different one. (I do know that I saw it/them roughly around 12PM)

Do you mean 1579 or Newcastle's 1589??? Bit strange Ashington are using 1589 on the 35/100 routes...

Sorry yes I mean 1579.

(08 Jan 2015, 8:00 pm)Tom Sorry yes I mean 1579.

Which means it's not so rare - I believe 2 Streetlites are allocated to 35A boards and the 3rd goes on a 35/100 working.
