4808 I think it was, on 8/8A
7425 was on the X12 yesterday. Never knew that was Belmont. I was lucky enough to have it from Newcastle to Gateshead and it was lovely I must say.

Supposed to be Redcar / Whitby, I thought, but I've somewhat lost track of where the southern division is these days .....

7425, alongside 7426, are currently working out of Durham as they are surplus to requirements at Redcar during the winter timetable period (when Redcar/Whitby's combined PVR is reduced by 5).

Ah, cheers for the info.  Typical that I'm not in the area while those two are roaming more widely!

What do they tend to get allocated to during the main summer season?

Was on 7478 on X12 yesterday. That was great as well.
1578 on 51
2842 on 53
Sapphire pulsar was on 51 @ 6ish this morning
1791 was on the 15:35 X9 off blyth and an X7/8 pulsar (1493 or 1503) on the 15:38 2 off blyth. Both arrived at one time and they weren't swapped (but it is Arriva blyth depot so no surprises like) the queue seemed big for the X9 so I got 7487 on the X10 a much less packed and more comfortable ride than a dart as many would agree
An un identified X9 pulsar was also on the 1 14:32 @ tynedale drive
