Probably also worth mentioning 1305 was on X4 when I passed it in Brotton...!
Stockton Prestige 4037 came back out to play around 1100 to replace a failed 1460 on services 5/5A!
1617 & 1639 on Service 8/8A.
2808 on Service 64.
Leaving everyone to get on Service 7 because a Solo is not big enough to cope with peak time loadings.

While 7801 is on X10 and 7802 on X4.

Passed E400 7513 on the 81 in Guisborough this morning...
Noted 1313 on 49A in Durham too....
Been all over today me
Why won't they allocate the E400's they have available to the route they were brought in for ? But then given the reliability of them it's probably best that passengers are given half a chance of getting to their destinations (Whitby/Scarborough) using the likes of 1743 and 4080

Exactly that reason, reliability. I'm sure 7513 has just returned from having a new engine fitted so it may be they're running it in on less demanding territory before sending it back to Whitby.

Engine refit and only 6 year old? The only thing that that engine is good for is your typical Killi to North Walbottle or Wallsend to Chapel House or at a push, a suburban route like the 308 or GNE 21. Anything more and for 7 years of consistent service and few breakdowns, you need either a DAF / VDL DB250, Scania N270UD, or a Volvo B9TL(240 for city / suburban), (270 for suburban / semi trunk and semi rural), (310 for trunk and rural).

Sorry, but anything can have a new engine at any time, indeed 3 of Stagecoach Teesside's MAN E300s have had engine rebuilds already and they are 4 years old.
X1 branded Pulsar 1404 is on X66 this morning, seen in Stockton at 0755 towards Middlesbrough!
Omnicity 4652 ended up on 21As today with Centro 1924 seeing use on 5/5A.
X10/X11 branded 7611 on 308
Another one I forgot was 1739 on X3 for Redcar.

4044 on X3 not unusual. Gets anything.

Regular working isn't it?
1753 was on Service 21A today.

Oh dear so thats where that one ended up! We only had 3 Darts on 7's and 1771 on the 6 so I wondered where 1753 or 1769 ended up....
Stockton based Cadet 1915 some how ended up on a Durham working on the X1... presume it replaced something of Durham's in Middlesbrough around 0900 this morning?!
Some unusual ones for Stockton today sees Pulsar 1446 and Omni 4652 on the 28

Think you will see this regularly for a while, as 1517 came off the road yesterday near Coatham Mundeville.
Unidentified Captains Tail Pulsar on 24. Arriving into PL now.
