The same one?

That would have been it, as the 8:10 to boro is the one that everyone decamped to. The 9:51 to Newcastle was the E400. The X12 went to pot this afternoon, anyhow. I had to tell a very disappointed family that the 15:20 they were waiting for at Eldon Square was still in Pity Me, according to the app.

1478 on the 22.

1766 was on X3/X3A today

4803 on Sapphire 7. 08:42 off Darlington.

Run behind is likely to be a odd working as well as 7540 was removed upon arrival at Darlington due to the top deck being rendered out of action.

There was an original Temsa on the X3 and I saw an MPD on the 64.

Unless someone was sick.

So, in summary, the 900 today has had:
7501/2/3/5/7/8/22/35

And was supposed to have 7419 on the turn being worked by a Durham Driver - however as that has now been towed back to Durham, that has for this last trip been worked by 1495. Someone's head will be rolling on Monday......

That's normal for a Sunday, on Sunday's X21/X26/X66 all interwork using a mixture of EcoCity's.

Ah - news to me! Thanks.

How long has that happened for? When the EcoCitys were first introduced to the 21/X21 routes, they were standalone on Sundays.

Been interworking since the 21 was renumbered the X21 last October - part of an attempt to solve the reliability issues that plagued the X26/X66 on Sundays.

7455 on X12 this morning - will be the 0835 off Middlesbrough.
