(23 Oct 2013, 3:06 pm)tyresmoke What time did you see that Dan? This one was on the 24X this morning so that diagram should always be a decker (if it hasn't been swapped onto another one).
(23 Oct 2013, 3:22 pm)tyresmoke Yes according to the timetable (working it back) the 1552 should work the 0817 from Durham, which wouldn't be on the same board as the 24X so it must have been swapped over.

(23 Oct 2013, 4:05 pm)CatsFast101 Belmont seem to have gone a bit mad with allocations recently. Tridents, Prestiges all thrown in the mix frequently lately. However, I know a lot of peak time runs (and 24X's) are ran with Deckers however during the day I don't think any Deckers are used. I don't know wether they interwork onto other services during Daytimes then back to the 24/24X or whether it is just general practise to swap the vehicles over before peaktimes.
There also appears to be no set runs which are Omnicity/Pulsar, I use the services quite regularly and it varies the 12:00 Peterlee-Durham, the four times I've used it, twice been an Omnicity, twice been a Pulsar.

(23 Oct 2013, 4:29 pm)tyresmoke Looking at the allocation, 3 boards on 24's are down to be deckers so therefore they should be out all day. Omnicities and Pulsars can be used on anything single deck really but the 24 should get Omnicities really, though it doesn't make much difference.

(23 Oct 2013, 9:23 pm)CatsFast101 Well I can tell you now, that there is never 3 Deckers out during the day on the 24. They obviously change the buses over at peak times in Durham. I'm never out earlier enough to see the first departures of the day but know that during the afternoon/evening a few runs are Deckers so I assume they change them over in Durham. It's rare to see a decker during the day on the 24's.

Durham had Pulsar 1473 on 56/57A today, and Omnicity 4643 was on one of the Framwellgate 6's this morning seen in Durham at about 0815 as I was leaving on X1, not sure if that works onto 24s etc though.
