7524/7 - I believe to aid with capacity, given that at least two of the Ashington Solos were out until end of play Saturday.

7601 on 57A! What a waste of money given there'll likely be spare single deckers sitting around on a Bank Holiday Monday!

1430, 1433 & 7609 on X93/X94 while 7401 on Whitby Park & Ride P1.

At least one board on the 57/57A will be a saloon/decker until social distancing is relaxed due to capacity issues.

Tbh Ashington should just allocate 7510 to the 57 all the time. It spends more time on the 57 then any other route

1801 replaced 1402 (Not sure why)

Durham 7487 has spent today on "Sapphire" 7.

1534-X12

1429 was on the 62 yesterday

1462 is on the 58

Is that a Bustimes observation?

1767 is tracking as 1462.

Please, don't post stuff from Bustimes without clearly referencing it as such.

As well as the well-known issues with vehicles swapping ticketing kit and not being re-identified, giving false indications of "Unusual Workings" there is strong evidence that persons are deliberately feeding inaccurate updates into the Bustimes system - liveries, fleet movements, etc - and trying to spot and correct such things will be made more difficult if reports are made from Bustimes info only without a personal check on whether that data is accurate.

Well how the hell I'm I meant to know that. Everyone else uses bus org as it easier instead of travelling to that location to literally see one bus just to update everyone

Usually people who post an odd working have seen it in person - and those who want to go hunting for one will just go straight to bustimes.org instead of trawling through a rarely used thread. So not really much point in reporting it...

Tbh what do u class as a rare working for arriva

Apparently 1401 is on the road. I highly doubt it considering how long it's been of the road. But I'll check if it is
