Sure I saw a Sapphire Streetlite go out on the 1705 X12 from M'bro last night!

(21 Apr 2017, 8:13 am)Jimmi Think it was the 08:10 Durham - Middlesbrough run. Should leave Middlesbrough at 09:35.

Isn't that a Stockton board? I regularly used that service a few years ago and with it being Pulsar operated, assumed it was Stockton allocations.

It may have changed since mind. Or, it could have been a Belmont board...

It has indeed changed. The Stockton bus used to turn around in Durham and come back to Middlesbrough, then picking up the 0935 out of Middlesbrough. I had 1512 on that run on its 2nd day in service... was scared of scratching it  Big Grin  it now runs through to Newcastle so the 0810 from Durham moved to become a Durham working.

It was a great shift that one, lasted quite a while. You used to start about 0630, go light to Boro to do the Durham & back, come off at 0920, out at 1045 to Peterlee & back and finish when you got back at 1345. Perfect day.

Yeah, now you mention it... the change and former short run, turning in to a full run is starting to ring a bell.

That shift you describe doesn't sound too bad either!
