(27 Apr 2015, 6:38 pm)MrPottski There's plenty at Darlington they could have!

Now now, Darlington need all the OmniCitys they can get - in fact, why not have 3 more for X75/X76 and Stockton will gladly have 3 X1 Pulsars for 21As Wink

No, honestly, the Pulsars are fine where they are, although an Omni isn't bad on a Barnard Castle run

Yeah, it's a good show though.

Upside about seeing it a few times though is when the waterworks come you know when to get out of the way, I am bone dry unlike some people

Seeing as it was the X12 launch, I was half expecting it to start about 17 minutes past 12, rather than on the dot!

I believe Arriva will be operating new services for the New Hospital Cramlington.

NHS Northumbria are proposing to operate services between the Hospital and Cramlington Shops, and another to Northumberland Park.

I'd imagine these will be operated by Solos.

Should be there till about 4 ish I think. I've just passed 7536 on its way into town as well but I don't know whether this is for the launch, or, is it being put into service? Sapphire spare is on 21/X21

Relevant to recent discussion regarding service X12's timekeeping and reliability - although can be applied to all services across the board...

Apparently the Enviro 400's should be out on the 7 tomorrow.

Hopefully this is true.
