RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - Jimmi - 01 May 2014
1510 is standing in for a Sapphire example on Service 7 this morning.
RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - Andreos1 - 01 May 2014
1920 on the 15's.
Could hear it half a mile down the road after it past me.

1712 is on Service 43.
1304 is on Services 56/57/57A.

Another Branded X10/X11 on 308's this evening, unable to identify but surely the GBF needs to look into this as the B5's were purchased for the 308, not every other route Blyth operates.

(30 Apr 2014, 9:18 pm)Tom I think the 55 interworks with the 54, so not sure if Pulsars are rare/odd?
54 and 55 are stand alone - 55 is down officially to use 2 Solos but you know what Jesmond are like......

Odd, last Saturday the 55 I used from FLE to Newcastle went out as a 54.

Reviewing the PVR breakdown I have and the timetables - the xx01 and xx31 55s are the stand-alone workings while the xx16 and xx46 are 54/55s.

Yeah, thought they interworked.

1415(?) was on the X1/X2 earlier. Not rare to see a Pulsar on the service of course, but this was a Belmont example, which is a bit unusual!

They generally have two on each day. 7478 was on there again today too.
Old livery Pulsars seem to be unusual but I guess that's just down to law of averages given how many they have in each livery.

I can't recall seeing one before, but there again, it only stood out to me in the first place because it was the old livery and interior.

They stand out as they have scrolling destinations towards Middlesbrough whereas ours at Stockton are static. Plus of course their liking of "Durham City" in the other direction.

7474 on the 554 Regent Centre to Quorum.
7458 on the 55.

1639 in for a EcoCity on 11s. As such, the last X66 tonight will be one as all 3 12s are EcoCitys.

B7 7484 has just come in for the 1125 ex MBS X93. Doesn't seem that busy so the allocations look right.

Have to dispute that - 2/12 have full allocation (4 on 2 & 3 on 12) then there's 3 on 11 (out of PVR of 4) which makes 10 on the road.

4809 is definitely still off, though I believe it is back with Arriva now so will be off for repair soon
