(07 Feb 2014, 10:17 pm)Kuyoyo Centro 1923 made an appearance on the 5a this afternoon replacing 4063, which then replaced 4062 on the 1645 5.

Prestige 4006 is making an unusual appearance on 5Bs this evening for possibly the final time prior to the changes next weekend.

Whitby also provided treats on the 5 - reserve MPDs 1737/9!

I may or may not have been responsible...
Still it performed decently enough. 1737 was running into Mbro light to do the 1815 journey which reinforces my thought that it works off the Sainsburys runs.

It's allocated at present, though should be withdrawn soon with new arrivals into the fleet. It replaced toasted Enviro 7510.

Very rare working, given 7507 is a Coast and Castles Connection E400 Ashington.

Pulsar 1480 was a brilliant substitute for a rancid Omnicity on the 1645 85/ 685 ex Eldon Square this evening. Will work the 2007 back out from Carlisle.

Did anyone note the decker on the 24? Seen midday in Sunderland. I can't recall seeing a decker working the 24 before?

Also noted an unidentified Solo working the 6 yesterday in Durham.

Deckers are always on 24s.

Stockton had Cadet 1906 on service 15 today, and an unhealthy selection of Prestiges on 17 group (normally solid Cadet!)

Must be the time of day then. I only ever see pulsars or omnis in the morning or evening rush.

I don't have the Durham boards to look at but I know some are allocated to 24s and 56/57s all day. The 24X runs from/to Easington are always a DB250 of various descriptions, for example.

Officially it is allocated Darts but of course generally gets Solos. All depends how many of each available each day.
