4801 on X21 running 20 mins behind
7525 on x14
An eco hybrid 52/53/54 on 43 route
Sapphire 43,44,45 on 52,53,54

Eco hybrid on route 55
4705 on X4
7424 on 62.

What's the chances of 1430, 1431 and 1432 coming into M'bro bus station on 63s one immediately behind the other? They did today, albeit not in the right order (32, 31, 30)!
4652 is on the 8.
1515 is on "MAX" X75/X76.

First rare of the day is 4658 spending the day on the X66/X67 with full working next stop announcements
There's been a 6 branded bus on the 22/24 pretty much every day this week. The one I'm currently on has working NSAs for the 22, which is ironic, since the 24 branded pulsars don't. I'm wondering if there's plans to remove the specific route branding on Durham's sapphire routes.
after a good day the end of the day out Home is in the shape of Optare Solo 2843 on the X66 to Darlington
1509 has spent it's 6th day on "MAX" X1, & 4644 Replaced a broken down Streetlite this afternoon.

I may be wrong but I think the 6 branded Pulsar's have always had the 22 (and possibly 24) programmed in to the NSAs.

With the 23 due to go Sapphire in the new year, I'm hoping for some form of a generic Sapphire branding between the 22, 23 and 24 routes, unsure that'll happen with the 22/24 allocation being in the old Sapphire livery and the Pulsar's for the 23 will most likely be in new Sapphire livery. Think they may have to do something like this on Darlington's new Sapphire StreetLite's which will be used on the 1/5/5A/12/19/86 and the only common ground all those routes have is they serve Darlington (excluding the few 86 runs Darlington depot operate).

Supposedly the 12/19 is coming off the 1/5/5A running boards when these change to sapphire
