Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - July 2020

Regular for the time being - X3/X3a now interworks with 64/64a in Middlesbrough so pending the resumption of refurbishments and repaints, Temsas will remain regulars on there. Rumour was, pre-Covid, that a handful of Pulsars were to be refurbished for the X4 allowing all X3 boards to become Streetlite operated but we'll have to wait and see on that front.

1404/5 still off the road and Stockton are only running X66/X67 trips on weekdays at present (Darlington do the Saturdays on their own) so X66/X67 from Stockton at present could be anything on the depot's allocation except 1923/4 which are for Staff Shuttles only at present.

Capacity overkill - should in theory be allocated 1759 but that's only done it one day out of the 10 days it's been operating. Plus Redcar now only have 81s and X93/X94 that the deckers can theoretically be allocated to (in theory, 7609/10 are low enough to be used on 63s but as yet, neither have been tried on there to my knowledge).
