As said a few weeks ago, service X21 interworks with service 35 on Sundays (and logically Mon-Sat evenings) so nothing really rare about that?

It's bank holiday weekend and 4651 is on the X93.

Yes. At least the other 7 were deckers. Many running well late. Mine was 22 mins late from Whitby. They took everyone off for Robin Hoods Bay and put them on the next one which was 4651, then we missed it out!
4710 and 4717 on 4/X4 yesterday. And 4703 appeared to be spare at Whitby.

I went to Scarborough in the car yesterday and we got stuck in traffic coming into Whitby and then got stuck behind slow moving vehicles so its understandable why the X93 is often late.
2837 on the Nexus secured 19 this afternoon.
I passed an Arriva Pulsar on the A167 in Chester le Street at 17.00 with passengers on board showing a destination screen "Arriva serving Yorkshire"

At least they had an inspector there trying to sort it out.

1474 was up here for a 'day trip' sort of thing. Was at Beamish (as can be seen in the pic).

Thanks for that information, it would have been that one as it came out of Park Road North on to the A167 which is the diversion route from Beamish to the A1M.
7475 is on the X10/X11 cycle. MAX experience...
Even better. 4068 is on the X10/X11 too.
X10/X11 Max branded Gemini on the X13. Didn't catch the number as it was coming down the sliproad from Cramlington on to the A1

Not all the Geminis have been refurbished yet

I know, but at the same time it doesn't help that they're being allocated to other services. There's an unrefurbed X10/X11 Gemini off route too.

Shouldn't be any unrefurbished X10/X11 Geminis on the road - they all should be away at Bus and Coach World so they are ready for the launch.
Moving on.....

4712 worked the 1159 171 from Whitby Bus Station to the Park and Ride site and return, to assist with the loadings. I don't think 2827/8 will be on 171s next year.......
What didn't happen north of the Tyne today. All within 30 minutes at Haymarket...

7805 on the X13.
7801 on the X11.
7613 on the X13.
7610 on the 308.
7475 on the X10.
1505 on the 308.
