RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - Kuyoyo - 21 Jan 2015
(21 Jan 2015, 10:21 pm)Jimmi Yep, new timetable starts on Sunday so you would hope they would be out on Sunday.
I'm kind of hoping they aren't in service Sunday is already all over the place for me as I'll be wanting some of the changes in Sunderland and it's already a faff fitting that in especially on a Sunday when there is less buses.
Even if they do enter service on Sunday, if you're only going to Middlesbrough or Guisborough I'd leave it until Monday as they are only every 2 hours between Whitby and Middlesbrough (0920 1020 1220 1420 1620 1820 1920 from Middlesbrough).
EDIT: That and only 4 of the 6 will be used on Sunday, while 5 should be out on Monday (and maybe a sixth sat spare in Whitby Bus Station).

I know and it's a total pain as the earliest one I could photo would be the 1220 as the first bus to Darlington arrives at Harrowgate Hill a few minutes after the X66. Also I want some of the GNE changes on Sunday. Also it's not really possible to head to/from Middlesbrough to Sunderland on a Sunday.

Normal allocation

Yeah.
One X14 is a MAX decker (interworks with 14), and the other a MPD (interworks with 33/57A).

2832 on the X21 in PL now.
RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - Cock Robin - 23 Jan 2015
I notice 7493 has an advert on the lowere rear something to do with North Yorkshire County Council. They must be losing a lot of advertising revenue with all these Max/ Sapphires?
Soon there will be no ads on the X93 and none on the X12? And the Temsas don't/can't carry them.

The MAX livery is designed so that ads can be applied. I notice the B9TLs don't have frames yet but I would expect them to gain them fairly soon!
