I didn't get to see it fully, but there was a Pulsar on the A167 at Chester Moor earlier, which had route destinations on the side.
A Stockton 15?

There was a 15 Pulsar in our yard at 1330 so possible that it went wandering. 1487 I think it was

1416 bringing MAXimum Impact to the 9/10.

1487 was out on the 15 this morning so unless it was swapped over, it can't have been that one.

Yup it was replaced by 1467 at Ingleby Barwick at 1115.

Yep, big'un spotted half an hour before then, whilst waiting for his taxi.

There's a double decker on the 24 with a coloured max front, seen at oakerside heading to Hartlepool at about 08:30, couldn't get ID, didn't have max lettering on front.

7474 on the 306 leaving Newcastle about 9:45am this morning. But more interestingly, there was an X8 using a Coastliner 306 bus in Cramlington about a half hour earlier.

How does a Jesmond bus end up on a Blyth route? Or is this way more common than I expect?

One of the silver NHS Optare Solos is on the X12 shuttles today.

Both Blyth and Jesmond are operating the Blyth routes today due to a incident at Gosforth

Incident is such an understatement. There's been a tree blocking the great north road. Cleared, now.

The pulsar on the 22 has been replaced by an e200: 1320
