1910 was on the 15 as well.

Just remembered the X66 had a Pulsar on this morning.
1507. Stayed on all day.

Well they could use a pulsar
During days the 35/35A stands alone with 'ordinary' buses. It is only evenings and Sundays that it interworks with the X21 and so uses Sapphire buses. So there is not a mix of ordinary and sapphire buses at any time.

I meant during the day when the three streetlites come and there should be another three buses which are bound to be regular spec buses

But the Streetlites are standard spec so where's the issue?

Ah right I thought they where sapphire spec
Not sure if its been noted already but 1504 on 308s
W401 vgj on x21 and v207 djr on x20
No idea what is happening here but just passed 2805 on the X1 at Tesco in Stockton - about 3 minutes or so behind a more normal Gemini also heading north.
4030 on 17A...this one unusual or not?

Not really. There was a couple of Prestiges on on Wednesday.

They seem to have started putting them on there now rather than the 5.

Unidentified Temsa Avenue also on there. Just left Scarborough not so long ago.
Yorkshire 211 working for Whitby on 94s today. I'm pleased about that!

4655 likewise...
Two Temsas on the X4 today. One was 4713. Couldn't see the other number.

4717

So two Temsas and two Omnicities out of the 8, supposedly all double deck?!

The two aforementioned Temsas were out on the X4, rather than the X93.
There is one Temsa on the X93 (I didn't see a second - unless you did?) and two OmniCitys: 4651 and 4655.
Personally, I wasn't overly fussed about the OmniCitys turning up as the buses were fairly quiet compared to normal. They manage the hills better than the Volvo B7s.

3 singles out of 8, while deckers are away undergoing modifications (and one is presently restricted to the 81/81a).

Wednesday there was only one away, and none on 81/81As.

And they've received 7491 since then.

I saw 2805 on the 56 in Durham this afternoon.
2812 was on the 46/48.
2820 on the 64.
Surprised this one didn't get mentioned by its driver (as he is smiling like a kid with a new toy)
- 4508 is presently out on its second 5/5a board, working the 1750 5 to Easington and 1915 return.
4508 seen here working the 1235 5A from Middlesbrough to Brotton...
I may or may not have had anything to do with it's allocation today!
