(06 May 2015, 3:31 am)tyresmoke wrote Forgot to mention odd workings on Teesside yesterday were 1460 on 5 (replacement for 1555 with a flat tyre), 4702/6 on 81... 1101 was in Stockton depot in the afternoon not sure why.

And 4654 on 15 I understand as well


RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - May 2015 - tyresmoke - 06 May 2015

1105 on 63 today for Redcar.
Stockton had all 3 MAX Pulsars off this morning with normal Pulsars allocated to the X12. One was swapped for 1442 later in the day

21/X21 branded EcoCity on the 5A tonight. Possibly 4814, hard to tell in the dark.

It was on the 2245 5A from Bishop Auckland.


RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - May 2015 - Davie - 07 May 2015

2 52/53 branded vehicles and a 306 Coastliner streetlite on the 43/44
B7TL Gemini 1 on the 55
46 sub-branded solo on the 84
These was also a 52/53 branded bus on the 52!

I'm not sure if these are really classed as off 'Rare or odd workings' I just thought I'd report them

I wouldn't call a bus branded for the route it's on rare/odd...   Dodgy

But they are hardly ever on the 52/53

They're still designated vehicles for the service though.

We've been through this many a time with other operators and other services. I can recall many a time folks on the forum suggesting getting an "Angel" branded bus on the 21 is incredibly rare. Usually seen as a joke, though sometimes frustrating. Tongue 

I'll resist the urge to say this about "Coastliner 308" branded Hybrid 7804 being allocated to the X4/X5 today...


RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - May 2015 - Mark P - 07 May 2015

4710 on the 81 this afternoon


RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - May 2015 - PH - BQA - 07 May 2015

1493 was on the 1 earlier 


RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - May 2015 - Davie - 07 May 2015

1401 on the X4/X5

Booked working - 3 X4/X5 call for Commanders or Pulsars.

Yeah you aren't having much luck with these rare & odd workings across the board lately Tongue

I think I might just report when it's a branded vehicle off route

Of course, changes on 17th May will see the Darlington, Durham and Stockton workings change.

Also, Saturdays sees a few small changes plus at present the additional Stockton 6 workings aren't allocated a Pulsar (can be anything, Solo or Cadet mostly).
Thanks this has helped a lot so I now know what has cadets and renowns.

RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - May 2015 - Kuyoyo - 08 May 2015

4512/1922 on 7
1491 was on X12 this morning replaced by 1449 after one trip
As such, 1442 ended up on 7M (the Friday extra board) after the originally booked vehicle (4505) was take for 9/27a - also where the original 6B vehicle went (1901 - 1906 now allocated)

I'm not lying, the PVR increased to 10 last year to try and combat reliability issues.

So you are still claiming that official Arriva documentation is incorrect then? Unfortunately, the timetable also backs up the PVR 9 unless you believe they have a 20 minute layover in Blyth............................

Is it still 9? Then why are Quorums and MAXs appearing on the 308 then? Should be a simple rule that if one comes in late, the Hybrid replaces it and that Hybrid waits for the next service. No wonder the 308 can't keep to time running on a PVR of 9 all day. At least the 309 despite having a joint main PVR of 16 with the 310 and X39, at least another 3 buees (although red spares) are thrown in during the PM peaks helping reliability.

Yep definitely PVR 9. They only have 10 hybrids so if one is off then the likelyhood of Blyth throwing other things out increases I guess.

How can the most profitable route in the North East (excluding all Stagey ops) after the long 21, only cope on a PVR of 9 and even worse unlike the 21, not have an express service complimenting it?

Out of interest how profitable is it/how do you know it is the most profitable?


RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - May 2015 - Kuyoyo - 09 May 2015

4508 on 21A - likely in place of 4652 which was taken off yesterday on the last Peterlee trip and replaced by 1451

If it was on the journey arriving in Middlesbrough at 1039 it has been replaced by 1451.

I wouldn't take that as gospel. I would bet the 22/64/64A has never been 15 Temsas yet, and many others too.
