Does anyone have any ideas on the allocations of the 51/2/3/4?

Also, I think the 51 will be successful, and will run the 307 off the road, what does everyone else think?

For anyone wishing to ride on something bouncier than a bouncy castle, try and hitch a ride on Pulsar 1467. Got her on the 24 from Peterlee and I felt physically sick once I got off... Must have suspension problems - but fun ride all the same!

Aircraft flown on:

744, 77W, 772, E145, E190, E170, E175, E195, A319, A320, A320NEO, A321, A321NEO, A330-200, A330-300, A340-600 763, 752, 733, 737, 738, CRJ900, CRJ1000

Yes! Think I posted (or meant to post can't sure if I did or not as way on way to work) but there is a Pulsar regularly on the 24 that has a really bad shaking, bouncing and rattling its awful. Needs some attention ASAP. Much prefer the Omnicitys.

I quite like it! Not sure how they've got away with the contravision over the windows though...

Whitby have Temsa 4718 on service 5 today, pretty rare you see one on there! All to do with the increased availability of Enviro 400s on service 93.

Most of these appear to just be stand changes in Darlington as opposed to actual timing changes. Few minor changes on some services, moving running times by a minute or two.

Service X1 will have a new journey which starts at West Auckland at 0744 running via the 6 route to Tindale Crescent, then the X1 route to Darlington arriving at 0825. This is currently run as a duplicate of the next service (arriving 0840) I understand.

Service 5A evening timings are changed to give more running time and match the Sunday daytime timings.

Service X66 Sunday times will depart Darlington and Middlesbrough 30 mins later than currently. They will no longer run through to Faverdale on a Sunday daytime once again.

Service 5B the last journey from Middlesbrough (2315) to North Skelton (arr 0000) will now terminate at Guisborough (2347)
Service 5 journeys extending from Loftus to Whitby will be renumbered X5.

I saw an Omnicity on the 24 that should have departed on the 1611 run to Sunderland (just missed it) crawling to Peterlee with its front suspension gone. Didn't catch the fleet number, however, it looked like one of the 05 reg ones transferred up from down south. Saw it laid up in Peterlee bus station later on. What on earth are they doing to their busses on the 24?!

Also forgot to mention yesterday 27 branded Pulsar 1449 replaced Prestige 4030 on 5A at 1630 and Prestige 4007 got replaced by Pulsar 1494 on the 21A at 1445.

This morning has seen Cadet 1916 work the 0630ish 21A Deaf Hill to Peterlee and 0715 return, it's just arrived into Middlesbrough! Very rare to see a Cadet on there! This particular working is on a 28 board though.
