Not odd on a Sunday. X15 and X18 interwork.
Not really rare but the Sapphire Enviro 400's are out on the 7 today. Can't help but think E400's are going to be overkill on the 19 round Darlington

Do they? I asked the supervisor a while ago if the X15/X18 interwork and he said that they didn't.

Will be swapped in town every time a 7 comes in, the E400 can't operate down by holly hurst road as the trees are to low and also there's a diversion on the route which sees them going down Gladstone street instead of the A68 dual carriageway, if there not swapped every hour somebody will be getting there backsides kicked, they done it last bank holiday too


2836 as the spare bus for 19s today seen as though the deckers are on the 7

I don't have any evidence to back it up, but I'm fairly confident they don't interwork. From looking at the timetable I can't see a reason for them to need to interwork, and I don't see the point of buses swapping routes in Alnwick Bus Station when the X15 and X18 both arrive together.

The X18 does have a Sunday PVR of 6 so another MAX spec bus will be needed to make up the numbers.
Don't forget they work on 418 journeys too

Yeah I'm pretty sure they do, the short one's anyway, think they do an X18 to Alnwick then a X15, then an X18 back to Newcastle, or something similar. 

They also have to connect to the Omnicity that operates the 418 as Tyresmoke said
Max 7614 on X4 earlier today....did not think they were Max'ed yet
1470 on 22 by the looks of things!

Awww. Almost like old times!
All I know is that the 0903 X15 from Morpeth to Newcastle is the same bus as the 1333 X18 from Morpeth to Newcastle as I use them often. Work it out. Why? I haven't a clue.
