At least one Sapphire E400 on either 35/35A or X20/20. Don't know which route as I just seen it from the bottom of my street when it passed on Hawthorn Road.

1415 on 43 while 1452 is on X2

7438 also on X12/X2.

Captains Tale branded 1475 is on the X24!
Lowlanders 7454 and 7455 are on the X2/X12
Dart 1305 roaring around Bishop Auckland on the 6.

Same every day more or less.... 555 doesn't run on a Saturday though so I'd argue they can use 2837 as a Solo (it was on 55 last week too)

As a last resort, maybe. What's the point in putting a vehicle out in service which isn't branded for the service it is allocated to? If there was no corporate liveried vehicles available (I'm not sure if the 55 needs a minibus or not), then 2837 should be allocated. Seems to be treated "as a Solo" every single day of the week, regardless of whether the Quorum Shuttle is operational or not...
New Max E400 on x21/x22
7515 was on the X15, left Haymarket around 12.35
Not a rare working as such - but a very rare sight. Stockton's 'Sapphire' Streetlite 1551 became the first of the batch to be formerly sighted in Stockton High Street itself (1557 appeared in the Town Centre 4 weeks ago but only came as far as the DWP Office Stop on Bridge Road) this morning. Of course, we're still awaiting the answer to the query raised two weeks ago
