As per usual "moustache" can't tell the difference between a minibus and a double decker. (Rolls eyes, disgusted face)
1325 just leaving Durham on the 24 (21:15)

4039 also worked 21a (which finishes with a 29a)
4506 meanwhile appeared on 15s
1501 on 308
Unidentified Dart on the X24. Passed Chester-le-Street and was the 13:31 to the MetroCentre and will be the 14:19 back to Durham.

Couldn't even see if it was a full sized Dart or an MPD!
4527 on the 306.
2815 and 2825 on the 43/44.
4514 on the 55.

MAX 7613 likewise.
The Commander with the Northumberland College advert was on the X11 too... forgot to mention. Absolute joke.

No, 1401 was on X13 - replaced 1416 which eventually ended up on X10/X11 via a trip on the 1 I believe

I'm fairly sure that I saw it on the X10/X11, too, though I'd forgotten to note it.

We all know how fluid Blyth's allocations are, so it's quite possible it's been on both the X10/X11 and X13.
Blyth wouldn't need to dispatch vehicles all over the place if the timings were made to be more accurate. Arriva seem to forget (excluding Busways routes) that after The Angel, the 308 is probably the 2nd most busiest and profitable route in the whole of the region yet, they don't have the Infrastructure to deal with that whether in the form of spares, accurate timings or in the case of the Pronto supplementing the Angel (otherwise they'd be running in 6's), a parallell express service.
1588 on the 54
2837 on the 55
7507 on the 900
7517 on the 900

So Jesmond can't even get allocations right on a Sunday?!

Yes by the looks of it.

When and where did you see this?

About 15 mins ago it left Durham for Cockfield. Not sure which one it was, as I only caught a glimpse of it.
