1405 on X22s
1536 allocated to X12 from start of the day, joined later by 1468 off 17As in a direct swap for 1443
1923 started on 17As before being replaced by 1454
1552 on 29/X66
1556 out on 8/17 tonight after a changeover at lunchtime

Stockton have had a bit of a nightmare day today - for the first time in three years, there were a number of services standing at the end of run-out due to vehicles awaiting parts
As such:
1924 was supposed to be out all night on 15s - but has been replaced by 1486
1488 started on 15s - but lasted one round trip before being replaced by 1550 for the rest of the board (which includes the 1718 X17 from Middlesbrough to Kingsmead) before ending up on 8/X5
1494 also started on 15s but only appears to have lasted half a trip before being replaced by 1423. 1494 later went out on the 7/7a board (which was one of the two stood boards at runout)
1441 has been on X66/X67 - while 1458 and 1459 have filled in for that and 1442 on X12s. 1404 spent the day on 805/5A board - also on 5As today have been 1414, 1536 and 1454, the later replacing the only Streetlite allocated on there (1559) at 1622 to regulate due to major delays from a broken down Coach on Cargo Fleet Lane. 1559 later worked the 1703 X17 - meaning all 3 afternoon X17s were operated by Streetlites
1485 has spent the day on X22s
1558 has been on the same 8 board as 1557 was on yesterday (MC6/8/5) losing just one trip mid afternoon due to the aforementioned Cargo Fleet issue

Scania 4654 seen trundling up to Durham on the 7 this lunchtime? Not sure if this a rare working but probably indicative of the way depots are having to juggle vehicles to meet the PVR requirements.

What's the elderly gemini that's at Belmont, at the moment? It's been on the 64 all afternoon. It's out of sight before it's out of earshot, though.

It’s one of two (I think) at Belmont currently. Replaced the remaining Lowlanders.

It's the first time I've seen one over this way. I hope they're less disgusting inside than the lowlanders.

Looking at the Twitter feed Darlington had operational difficulties again today? Saw an unnamed Solo operating X66/67. Never a good idea!

And just what does rubbish mean please? A Solo is unsuited to the route due to the loadings and the Scanias, much as I like them as a well maintained bus,, Arrivals aren't! They've been flogged and should be retired.
