Wondering if it was a late replacement considering that the driver is not in Sapphire uniform which is unusual for a Darlington working (same can't be said for Belmont) and I've not seen him on the 7 before.

Someone has probably failed that was originally supposed to be on sapphire so rather than having a sapphire shift stood they have dragged someone off the normal work and put that driver on sapphire, I'll try and investigate and let you know

1477 and 7477 on the 46/48 are not rare.

7609 seems to do the X24 on Saturday if it isn't required on the X12, much like Stockton often use MAX spare 1415 on the S1.

1457 just done a 5a but now being replaced by 1556

Why?!

Them services are being turned short due for safety due to objects being thrown at buses.

64a is terminating at Whale Hill in a night over the weekend following a number of incidents of vandalism in the last week.

Was that today? 

Never heard or seen any of them, so I assume it wasn't today.

Of course they were taken today. You should have been focusing on the buses/trains instead of taking hundreds of photos of me!
