(28 Mar 2015, 4:22 pm)aureolin I think there was, but couldn't really see from the road. Everything was tucked away apart from this one. There was the Streetlite you can see behind, another one parked behind an ALX300, and another Sapphire E400 right at the back.
1601 is the Streetlite behind. Was awkward to get photos of them!

Was 7538 in the same place by the time you got there, or had they shifted it?

It had been shifted by then, which is how I (just) managed to identify the fleet number.

Was just looking through some photos on Flickr, and noticed that some other Arriva divisions were recieving Citaro's while the North East were recieving Pulsars? 

Surely some of the routes that the Pulsars were deployed on would have been better suited to Citaro's, such as the Blyth expresses, the X2/12 etc?

I'm sure I saw a Sapphire Citaro acting as a spare for Sapphire 321 branded StreetLites. Luton?

Those are part of the 58 reg batch with Arriva Shires.
The 12 plate ones were all bought for use at London 2012 Olympic Games, then dished out between Shires & Southern Counties

Took photos at Jesmond today with Dan - just need a few questions answering for captions.

The Sapphire base-liveried E400, where is that headed, I presume the 7 seeing as that is due deckers? Also, a MAX-liveried Streetlite as well as a Sapphire base-liveried example?

Thanks! Smile

The E400 will be either Darlington (7) or for Durham for (I think) the 24.

The MAX Streetlites are for the X1 (Darlington again)
The Sapphire ones are for the 22 (again, sure I saw that somewhere) so also Durham Smile

No problem Smile

For reference (if you have the fleetnumber of the E400) I think 7534-8 will be for the 7, with 7539/40 for the 24 (just a complete guess with this though, based on how easy it will be to put the first ones into service as they will not have to be "launched")

Might be worth pointing out that 1753 is now finished after today on service 7, it's last trip would have been the 1727 from Willey Flatts back to Stockton, with the arrival of the 2 Solos (2805/2829) over the last few days.
