Is 7518 rare?
If so that is like saying 7515 is rare on the X15
I'm sure when I saw 2503 on Tuesday it had no service number on the front just a scrolling destination! 49 on rear.
2804 on Crew Bus
1595 on the 6 today.
Had 7411 on my X10 from Newcastle to Regent Centre, screams unlike the other Pulsar Geminis at Jesmond which omit a low bellow. Probably will never catch it again, very goood though

1512 is usually found in 9/27/27a if not required on 5/5a so it's in used and in easy reach should it be required to go on 5/5a.
1502/4 are Stockton's X66/X67 vehicles at present.
7516 on the X20

You were saying..?

Firstly, I wanted to know if 7518 is rare on the X21/X22.
Secondly I was saying I had 7411 on my X10 today to Regent Centre, it was very good, screamed though which I found odd.
Finally, I wanted to add 7411 was also on the X10

A lot of the pulsars do scream. The better ones are quite tuneful.

The not so good ones just vibrate. The one on the 21a to boro this mornng (didn't catch the number) brought to mind that lesser known U2 album, Rattle Yer Bum.

1512 eventually ended up on 5/5a and indeed is out all night replacing a Streetlite that broke down on Ormesby bank about 1430

Unsurprisingly it was 1553 that broke!

1517 is on X12 today, while 1415 is on 15s

Edit: 1517 appears to be on loan to Stockton? 1035 ex Middlesbrough
7515 or 16 on 35.
7518 on X21/X22

Either 7515/6 is being kept local or its going to be swapped with 7472 on the X15 later.

As 7518 is an 'all routes spare', I can report it on here along with 7410/1 and 7515/6 if I wished...?

Yes you can, thank you, just thought with it being 'Sapphire' it wasn't rare, I trust you more though Sleepy
