Thanks for the confirmation. I saw it some months back but it had managed to evade my attempts to get a run out with it. Hope yet!!

An Alx400 is on 64 in Durham.
7364? Or some combo of those numbers.
A Solo was ahead of it and was passing New College at dinnertime.
The queue was huge and there was already a decent loading on.

Will have been 7464 (or 7463) ?
Redcar have given Whitby 1305 - they used it on service 5/X5 today.
Stockton meanwhile had Scania 4654 on short 17s, and a 27 branded Pulsar ended up on service 5A. Centro 1924 also saw the delights of Brotton.
Yesterday Stockton MPD 1753 ended up on service 29 replacing Cadet 1905. That was after it managed part of an X6 as another breakdown replacement.

Don't forget 2 days of 15-branded Pulsars on the 7 - 1486 yesterday and 1485 today.

I thought this thread was for rare or odd workings lol !
RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - tyresmoke - 20 Dec 2013
7478 on X1 again today, should work the 0730ish from Middlesbrough
RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - Kuyoyo - 20 Dec 2013
Pulsar 1453 is making a rare appearance on the Stockton service 6 as a breakdown replacement for 1753.

As it only worked one and a half trips, difficult to photo for anyone, luckily I managed one prior to the departure, a case of being thankful for the early finish at work
RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - tyresmoke - 20 Dec 2013
Not an odd working but Temsa 4713 was in our depot at Stockton this morning. Saw it leaving this afternoon, so I assume it broke yesterday.
RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - Kuyoyo - 21 Dec 2013
1743 and 4705 both working on the 5/X5 today.
OmniCity 4654/8 both playing spare roles today working duplicates on the X6.

9 branded Pulsar 1443 appeared at Eldon Square tonight working back on the X2 at 18:00.

Called a day of swaps to keep things on time - 1443 will have replaced 1451. Might not be long before 1443 appears on there again, although minus the branding.

Ah I wondered which one it was I passed tonight while on 15s, only spotted it was a 9 branded one
Durham had DB250 7477 on there today too.
Stockton ended up taking 1755 off a 7 to cover 15s, don't think anyone would have noticed a 7 missing as they were all over the place some 20-30 mins late! I managed 2 and a quarter out of 3 - the traffic in Yarm was crazy today!

Both DB250s were on the X1, 7477 left Stockton at 1720 followed 10 minutes later by 7478.
