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.

Mod note: I've moved some posts about possible cascades into the 'Standardisation of Streetlites' thread here: https://northeastbuses.co.uk/forum/showt...p?tid=2585

Sapphire 1465 escaped onto the 7 today: https://flic.kr/p/2jiKLPk

4652 ran as a dupe alongside 1515 on the 7 this afternoon

63 branded Pulsar on the X4 today. I did see the id, but forgot which one it was.

Was 1436 according to bustimes

Better been on a Pulsar as opposed to a Streetlite ? It's one hell of a journey Whitby to Middlesbrough

7610:was running on X93/4 yesterday. Was 0950 ex Boro.

Think it was 1534 putting in an appearance on the X66/7 today; 1130 ish off Darlington. Superb machines these, could be Stockton's best.

7609 on the 81S

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).

Dormanstown/Whitby based 28xx Solo zapping across the A171 Moors Road towards Guisborough 1030 this morning ? Didn't catch the fleet number. Any thoughts ?

7401 had to go on the naughty step this morning ? 1020 X93 ex Middlesbrough. Credit to the driver for getting it to Whitby

Flying run back, 1258 X93 ex Whitby on 7610

First time a Darlington Scania has been out on a Sunday for at least a year or more

1567 was on the 10s also to be changed to 13B
