Sorry for the really old news,
Ashington 7483 was running on X22 on 1/12, I think this shouldn't be allowed?

thanks for reminding, that should be 7483, the "new" Optare Spectra in Ashington,
but still i think that's rare as X22 definitely needs a low floor bus?

Yeah, it should be a low floor bus, usually a Volvo B10BLE/Wright Renown, so it is rare. They are usually allocated to the 20/X20 or the 44.

More or less normal - certain duties on the 6 inter work with the 42. Ideally you would keep the branded examples off those turns but you can't always make sure.

Spotted one coming from Coxhoe at Bowburn Interchange yesterday morning.
It went over me on the A1 (M) as I was heading South.

1307 also on there today. Come this time next week, seeing them in Middlesbrough will be normal given Sapphire cascade plans.

They're certainly not meant to be allocated to it (4 Gemini and 2 Pulsar is the official allocation) but they can be used as backup deckers I guess, and they have been fairly regular for the last 2-3 weeks, indeed one day last week saw 4 DLAs in one day!
