Further replacement planned for Sunday 19th, then that's it I think.

Is the reference to 1759 based on your own observation, or just taken from BusTimes?

I ask merely because a previous post suggested that 1440 was tracking as "1759", and it would be useful to get some kind of confirmation.

(I think I also recall a post in another thread suggesting 1759 had been moved to Darlington, which, if this was a genuine observation, would certainly qualify 1759 on 64/64A as a "Rare & Odd Working"! )
2862 on the Sapphire X4 leaving Whitby full nearly 20 minutes late at 14-26 [due out 14-07]. Next bus waiting behind.

It was based on observation. Its tracking as itself now as is 1440. It has been back from Darlington for a while.
1759 spending tonight on the 63.
1759 on the 21:10 63 to Redcar again.

I've just realised but I don't think you can have a rare working on a rail replacement as they just chuck anything on
MAX Scania 4648 is currently on the X21

The short 81s between Guisborough and Redcar on a morning and an evening work onto and off 63s, so will throw up Pulsars.
1550 on X12 according to Bus Times
Gas bus on the 7.

Is this standard or becoming more common? 
Don't get down too many portions of the 7 route, but it seems to be a regular sighting.

Becoming very common now Arriva will put anything on the route including Solos
