Could have run off the 54/55? It was allocated to those as seen here:

A 308 Gemini was on the X13 earlier, 7520 was on the X21. I'm sure I saw a MAX Gemini on the 308 as well however it was only a glimpse so this could be wrong.

I don't know what they're thinking having two Omnis working a decker route on a match day. Pathetic.
RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - GuyParkRoyal - 18 Oct 2014
7464 on the X1/X2 departed Chester le Street for Durham at 16.56.

What's worse - well, unless my attempt at working it out is wrong - 4653 should still be out on X21/35 tonight.
RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - tyresmoke - 18 Oct 2014
Ashington doing as well as us at Stockton then! lol
1447 and 1452 started the day on 5s with 1512 whilst faults were sorted on assorted Streetlites, 1555 then replaced 1556 which I believe was towed in (one certainly was!) - it's out all night tonight having been fixed earlier... It was all sparkling by lunchtime though, albeit 1512 spent all day on despite being the spare bus
Edit: 1103 was used on Yarm shuttle service 17
RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - coldav - 18 Oct 2014
4653 was on the 1644 57A from Morpeth
A Streetlight in full 35 livery was on the 35 this morning. Didn't see which one but I assume it was 1581.
Ashington seem to be putting anything on everything just now with 09 EW400s on the X18 and 14 reg E400s on the X15 (2 today)
A 14 reg E400 on the 35/X21 tonight.
RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - mb134 - 20 Oct 2014
7533 is on the X22 today

RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - tyresmoke - 21 Oct 2014
1447 spent the day on Sapphire 5/5A yesterday thanks to missing Streetlites, one of which was 1558.
Two Pulsars (1460 & 1491 iirc) were due to be allocated today when I left at 0550 (on top of 1512 the spare) but that was dependent on Streetlites being fixed!
