(29 Jun 2014, 5:46 pm)Marcus I'm really sorry if it seems like I'm spamming here (Tongue), but can anyone tell me of the fates of some of the Stockton Prestiges like 4052, 4050 and 4045? I remember getting them a lot on the X2 - haven't seen them in about a year!

4045 was withdrawn from Stockton but was then transfered to Blyth to replace the Geminis while they are refurbished to MAX specification for the X10/X11

4050 was actually a Darlington vehicle for the latter part of its life until withdrawn (I believe due to accident damage) so I doubt you'll have had it for the X2.

4052 was withdrawn from Stockton but it then was transfered to Darlington. It then later moved from Darlington to Jesmond where it is still in service along with sister 4051. 4051 had transfered from Durham when the Sapphire Pulsars entered service alowing Jesmond to withdraw 4072 which had transfered just there two months previously due to a timings issue with service 43/45.

Yeah 4050 was withdrawn after accident damage (brake failure on Service X66 I think).

4050 had to be the worst Prestige I had the misfortune in rifding, it rattled like hell, it sounded awful and one day it was making an alarming noise that sounded like someone was playing Operation next to me. Hated that Prestige glad its no longer with us.

Yeah they're very rare now, usually used as a last resort when things are running late... Durham should have a mix of 4/5 deckers and 1/2 Pulsars on their workings. The older livery ones are pretty rare but do appear from time to time, I think it's purely down to how many there is in each livery though rather than any instruction to keep them off.

Not as far as I know? Usually found on X20 I think... The coaches should be on X15 and the 100 really

Noticed them appearing on the x1/2 more and more recently.
No idea why these specific Pulsars are allocated over other non-route specific vehicles.

Because some of the named ones used to be branded for other Stockton routes so wouldn't normally be on X1s. Now they can use anything.

It's floating about Northumbria in general with 4068 while numerous double-deckers are refurbished, so really, you might them on either Ashington or Blyth services depending on where they're needed.
