Wonder where that shift ended up...  

One of the newer Pulsars (1467?) is on the 56/57/57A today.

It's whatever is available at the time, there's been MAX vehicles, the 16xx series Darts, Sapphire E400s, and about every type of bus has been used on the AN20.

Redcar's 1564 is on the 64/64a today

2865 on 21/X21 ex Darlington 1415

1800 on X14 Newcastle to Morpeth, isn't the X14 supposed to be MAX?

Short workings are booked for MPDs as they interwork with 33 and 57a - meant to be taken from Bltyh's 1773/4/5 on their 2 workings and Ashington's 1792/1800/1 on their 2 turns.

X15 branded 7512 just been taken off service x15 in Morpeth and replace by X18 branded 7533

Community Service doesn't count.

1307 is on 1/19 and 2851 was on the X1 earlier today.

A Max decker on the 308 while a hybrid was on the X4....they were following each other through Seaton Sluice so would have been at Blyth together so wonder why the hybrid was not put on the 308.

Also, a 306 streetlite was on 53 heading through New York arounf 4pm.

1507 on Sapphire 7.

1799 on the 1/5a/19 diagram leaving Darlington at 0930 on the 5A

1512 leaving bus station on Nunthorpe 28 (12.37)

Max decker on the X4

1440 adding a touch of sparkle to the 81 now. It replaced 4507 at Redcar bus station on the 1358 to Guisborough and joins 4720 already on there.

1415 on the 56/57/57A

A Sapphire Streetlite is also on the U1

It was 1595 (the spare) which was used as 2817 developed a fault with the speedo this morning.

Cheers. It ain't running onto anything at present like. Its about 30 late...

Plenty of time - doesn't start on 21As until 0921 from Sedgefield and they've got plenty of sit time there before it starts anyway.

EDIT: looking at the live map, every X12 towards Durham is running late - peak time traffic issues likely as the A66 is back up to past the Elton/Hartburn junction heading into Middlesbrough.

1509 on X26, 1416 on X27

1517 on the Durham 43.
1415 on the Durham 56.

1424 on the Durham 64.
