Sapphire 1518 seen in Middlesbrough about 1250 on X66.
1457 on 5s for us, not sure which Streetlite is missing though... Might be 1550

Isn't 1518 a 24-branded one? If so, what the heck is it doing on the X66!?

I thought you would have known. You seem to know just about everything.

Yep, 24 branded example based at Belmont depot.

If that is on the X66 it is a seriously rare working!

I've been informed from when it was sighted in Stockton that it was a 7 branded example

It's not 1518 it's 1516 just left Darlington now 13:40

Just shows how so much outrage can be caused by a single typo.

Woops lol wouldn't be the first time I missed the fleet number haha

7518 appeared on the X15 this morning. At some point during the day it was swapped with 7521 which turned up in Berwick earlier this evening.

yep 7618, I passed it at Dalton-le-Dale while I was driving to Sunderland, trying to remember the number as I cant text and drive at the same time lol, noticed the decker coming towards me as it had a dark front of a max and not a sapphire.

I am told Jesmond used Scania 4663 on the 494 works service tonight - very rare as its usually always a double deck!

1325 on 2220 X12 from Middlesbrough (booked DB250 unless it's not on a 6 at present)

Haha I just realised that haha

1462 has just passed me on the 21/X21, leaving Darlington at 10:15

1799 is on the 1/5A/19 left Darlington at 11:30 this morning

7618 seen (from a 1!) on the 24 yesterday.

As there are two, 1469/91 are both on X12 today. Believe it is 1442 missing

Already been reported but...

1494 on 5/5a in place of, and replaced by, 1555. 1512 should be back tomorrow as its been tested today (and 1447)

Well they won't be doing that again for a while!

Indeed, I'd probably go as far to say it'll never happen... Still got 4 other Scanias mind

What's the likelihood of 4663 getting repaired?

At 8-9 years old? Pretty unlikely

2 Pulsars on 23. 1466/7 I think
