Pulsar 1483 operating the 306.

306 Streetlite (1584 iirc?) was on the 52s when I passed it about five minutes ago. I imagine it's around Newcastle now.

Well, after jumping off 7803 in Blyth and watching it go NIS due to being so late, I was a bit surprised to see it pass me on 1504 on the 1 (is that rare?) with the blind set for the 1 to Blyth!!

Aye 1504 on the 1 is odd, but a common sight...

Wish I hadn't mentioned non MAX buses on MAX services.
2858 on the X66.

And it's on there again today I understand - which appears to bring the sparkle to Lingdale for the first time on a Sunday (81s interwork with the 3 on Sundays).

Maybe not the first time as it's been out on a Sunday before. 1512 is also out today from Stockton

Not really rare as it's the spare but... 1416 on the 1240 X27 from Darlington.
RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - April 2015 - Stewy - 07 Apr 2015
2503 is still going strong seen on 12/12A today

The 12/12A is an EcoCity free zone today as in addition to 2503 two 2008 Solos are on today.
RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - April 2015 - Jimmi - 08 Apr 2015
1507 is standing in for a Sapphire example on the 7.

7485 on 22/64/64A today, with a Pulsar reaching Scarborough for (I believe) the first time... 1434 worked the 0950 X93 from Middlesbrough, Redcars other bus was 7486 (0850 ex Mbro)
RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - April 2015 - passenger_10 - 09 Apr 2015
7520 is on an x15 to Berwick this morning.
RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - April 2015 - Dan - 09 Apr 2015
Hybrid 7808 is on X4/X5 today.
An unidentified and somewhat unhealthy sounding 57-reg Lowlander (sorry DaveyB!) is on service X12 today, too.

Probably replaced the MAX Gemini that smelt like diesel and smoke.
1416 on X66

I would expect it replaced 7627 which was stranded in Middlesbrough earlier, failed before operating the 1005 X12 and I think the time I saw a Lowlander arriving later would match.
RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - April 2015 - Jimmi - 09 Apr 2015
May be wrong but I think there was an EcoCity out on the 5A tonight.
It was dark when I saw this so it's possible that it wasn't an EcoCity.

No jimmi you weren't wrong, there was 2 on the 5A last night and 2 the night before, it's to do with there not using enough gas so therefore it was in doubt about the gas being subsidised

4505 on 7
4506 on 21a/29a

RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - April 2015 - Kuyoyo - 10 Apr 2015
Oops, forget the nice X12:
Durham: 7436, 7454, 7456, 7469
Stockton: 1460 but on the upside, 1443 did put in an appearance on the PM dupe

Ridiculous. Could at least have used the Sapphire one.
RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - April 2015 - Dan - 11 Apr 2015
7454 on X12 with a rather large crack on the upper windscreen.

Two Temsas today, 4706 and 4709, on the Redcar boards.
I am told there is one non-diagrammed journey (0920 ex Scarborough) which will drop something else every day
