Saw 1466 and a Lowlander, but I thought it was 7454...

Was certainly 7454 yesterday, on the same board as today too.

Might of been 7454 was rushing to catch the 7 which was reversing out when I got to the bus station [emoji35]

Meanwhile 1415 is on either the 22/24.

Sapphire base liveried 1597? On 1652 24 from Durham.

Stockton have 1448 on the X12.

1472 on 56/57/57A/86 which I think is on in place of a double decker.

2817 on 61/62.

X1 Pulsar on 1/5A.

1552 on the 27 this afternoon

Sapphire liveried 1597 on service 24 this afternoon.

Yet again - i have only seen pictures of this when it has been allocated to service 24.

In fairness it isn't actually branded yet so in theory it isn't too big a problem whether they are on the 22 or 24 although really I don't think they should be out (non of the other NE Sapphire routes had the buses in service before being launched) although it's possible Belmont are having problems considering they had 4 non MAX buses on the X12/X2 and also Pulsar 1472 on a 56/57/57A/86 working which is booked for a double decker.

One thing I hope is sorted before being launched is the rear destinations as they are only showing the service number when it should also be displaying the destination and via points.

What time did you see this? Possible it was swapped with 1492 as that covered one board on the 5s from lunchtime or so.
1445 & 1512 were both out from start of play on the 5s until around 1030-1100 when they were replaced by 1558 and 1556 respectively

It was about 1620 I was waiting for the X10 and the rear route indicator was showing 27 when it left the layover stand, I did not see it depart though. I had seen 1492 in Guisborough about 1510 on the 5 heading for Middlesbrough

There was at least one of that batch on yesterday too.
Approx 1530 (or 1630) south out of Chester.

Sure it was a Streetlite? 1512 the spare Pulsar was working that board

MAX 7613 on X4/X5 - presumably first run out of the depot too?!

Guess who's on allocations today?!

An unID'd MPD on 35s, I assume that a couple of 35s boards work onto Sapphires later on?

No, otherwise the X21 wouldn't be Sapphire at night. The X21 works onto 35's though.

1911 was parked in durham bus station

Hello Scott,
I think it must have been 1512, I assumed it was 1552 as I had been to Guisborough and back and not seen it, should have gone to specsavers !!! 

4502 and a Pulsar (can't recall which) on the 21a this afternoon
4652 ended up on 28s from 1525, replacing 4506 which then replaced 1512 on 27/X5 so 1512 could go back onto 5s to replace 1552 (1512 will be presently be inbound on the 5 from Easington).

1442 is getting repair work done to it! Was in workshop today 

2851 on 8/8A.

7519 is on the X15

7513 is/was on X21/X22.

4506 (I think) ended up working a 9 this afternoon (not sure if it did more)
1923 spent the day on 17s while 1924 was 17As
2826 spent the late afternoon working the 6 and presumably will now be out on 7As

It was 4509 and was replaced at 1700, before working the 1710 28 in place of whatever B10BLE was on that board.
Rare (and painful!) working of the day must have been 1914 doing a 21A...
Redcar had a Pulsar on the 22/64 today but I didn't see which one it was. Makes a change from hiding one on the 81 I suppose.

1492 was also on the 21A.

Think I saw Sapphire 1440 on the 64 too.

Yeah 1440 usually gets kept on the 22/64s for some reason, though does also see use on the 63 and 81 from time to time. 1512 at Stockton has it's own running board (27B) which it is religiously kept on, when not required on the 5s obviously. Indeed I had it on there this afternoon! 1492 started out on 27B so would have been spare to pick up a 21A thanks to the roadworks in Stockton causing chaos.
