(26 Oct 2013, 8:52 pm)aureolin These awards (as in any industry) are nothing but an annual ego re-alignment for management. Not to mention the awards dinner (senior management piss-up) afterwards. I don't know why they were short-listed, and quite frankly I don't care.
If only companies focused as much on looking after their customers and improving staff morale as they do going after pointless awards.

Rare workings from Stockton today as a result of a publicity photo shoot...
New Pulsar 1512 started the day on service 9, and was replaced by MPD 1755.
Pulsar 1492 was also involved, having started the day on short 27's, it ended up on service 21A (I had it for 4 hours this afternoon, makes a nice change from the usual Prestiges!). It replaced Prestige 4062.
Also due to be involved (but in the end wasn't...) was Pulsar 1454 which spent the day tootling around on service 7, normally the home of mini Darts and Cadets and the odd Prestige.
Somehow Cadet 1909 ended up on service 21A too, replacing Prestige 4001.
Centro 1924 was used for the last service 5 to Whitby at 1745, having been on 15's earlier and presumably replaced at some point.
