I didn't check the bus i was on but it was an 09 Enviro on Sunderland service 19 from Leechmere ASDA to Sunningdale road (Springwell) =)
I can't remember, although it was a President.
Sapphire 1519 on service 7 from Durham to home yesterday evening.
Don't think I'll be using any buses on Friday, so I imagine my first bus will be an EcoCity on service 21/X21 when I'm planning on heading to Sunderland on Saturday.

I've yet to sample those EcoCity's...I gather they aren't doing well?
Last bus of 2014: Arriva 1773 on Route 1 from Ashington to Fifth Avenue.

It's mainly the three ex demonstrators which weren't used much before arriving with Arriva, I'm not entirely sure what all the problems are with them when I've spotted them leave Darlington late.
Still not sure on the 21/X21 being the right route for them, size round some of the back roads can be a bit of a squeeze especially as the EcoCity's feel heavy.
Hope I have a problem free journey on Saturday.
My last bus of 2014 was provided last night by Fab Fifty Six branded 6094 on the 23:52 Gateshead - Wrekenton.
ANE's 7522 on an X21 was my last bus, on Monday evening
Last: Mine was 8250 on the 83.
Stagecoach Manchester Alexander Dennis Enviro 400 MMC 10406 SL64HZN - X41 Manchester Piccadilly Gardens to Princess Street (bus was for Altrincham)

I don't think there's much of an issue with size on the route. I've driven Pulsars and Prestiges regularly round there and never had an issue. I know Darlington drivers questioned the use of full size buses but Stockton coped fine...
My last bus of 2014 would be Sapphire Streetlite 1550 which I took on the 1205 5A Middlesbrough-Brotton and 1314 return. 2nd last bus was Volvo B10BLE 4506 which is much better!... Had it for 5 hours this morning on 28s

Boxing Day.

Ah, of course.
Wrongly assumed that he would have been out since Boxing Day, making 6099's appearance on the X1 questionable!
Let's hope Malarkey and citaro5284 don't see this post!
