Probably because they've taken 6 new vehicles and only given 1 away so far!
01 May 2015, 9:19 pm
2 Pulsars were on the 22... not sure if it's an off route or not?

When does service 22 and 24 become Sapphire brand, since e400's have entered service 7 , the 7 pulsars must be getting rebranded for service 24 at the moment or near future.

I'd guess until they're officially "launched", the allocations are going to remain fluid.
As it stands, I think Belmont has received most (if not all?) of their "Sapphire" liveried Streetlites for service 22. They seem to be seeing allocation to other routes resulting in standard specification Pulsars being allocated to service 22 as a result.

Was it you that said they faced losing their subsidy for the gas if they didn't increase the mileage on the EcoCitys? At least 4812 would have kept to time on the 5A!
02 May 2015, 8:21 am
Yesterday Stockton somehow ended up swapping 1442 onto 9/27A with 1457 going on X12s.

May have been me, not 100% sure but surely if 4812/3/4 are on the 21/X21 they should use enough gas rather than the ones round town
Meanwhile today 4814 was spotted on 2's with a rather nasty dent in it & of course 1515 was on the 7's today

Isn't one of the evening boards on the 1B EcoCity operated too as I saw one on there heading past Burtree Gate on a Bishop Auckland bound 1B on Friday April 24th.

Ashington's 7507 was on a "Contract" on Friday night, heading from the general direction of Amble, towards either Blyth or Cramlington (I saw it near Woodhorn about 6.30)

AN 20. Was previously N20, the driver has selected the wrong destination as it is supposed to say "Bingo Bus".
Amble Fourways to Blyth Bus Station (for Mecca Bingo) it runs four times a week, there is one on tonight. I'll try and get a timetable uploaded.
7509 is likely to be on the AN 20 tonight.

Assuming this was an evening working then that's booked to happen as the two interwork on a night. There is a 6 board that ends up on X12s as a result
