North East Buses

1543 spooted this morning operating the x94 to whitby

We already have a thread for these https://northeastbuses.co.uk/forum/showt...p?tid=3735

Though I'd argue that Arriva's allocations are always all over the place, to the point where none of their workings can really be considered "rare" or "odd".

2705 on the 7 on Tuesday - https://www.flickr.com/photos/adammalark...ateposted/

Spotted Streetlite 1582 working service 553 today. Can't remember ever seeing anything other than Solos on this service before, and I live on the route !

Suppose it had to happen now that Arriva only have one spare Solo at Walkergate, and 2602 seems at best temperamental.

dont know if its a transfer or a loan bus a wright streetlite was on the 35 today i take its from newcastle or blyth whichever is the former jesmond vehicles are allocated to now. sorry dont know the identity of the vehicle as i was quite a distance away

Was it green or blue. If it was green then it was a Eco from Jesmond possible. Or if it was blue. Then could have been Sapphire or New Livery as 1611 was seen at the Ashington depot

Solo 2853 has been working from Walkergate today, tracking as 2845 !

Maybe a Walkergate Streetlite has gone to Ashington to balance the numbers.

The Streetlite is 1586 I believe, Solo 2853 went to Walkergate as they were in need of another Solo. 

1611 was there for MOT, along with 1526 (I think) and 7484.

Solo has moved to Walkergate due to a StreetLite doing the 553 the other day. Seems two of the solos are off the road. Not sure why Quorum solos can't be put on and chuck a long bus on the 555 unless there's is a restriction to that
