I'll keep an eye out tomorrow to see if it's on the same board. I was wondering if they were possibly route testing with it, as it makes no sense that one of the first out the depot would be that.
It's not that early out really, leaving at 0710 I'd expect it'll be towards the end of the run out.
The other 56's mostly leave between 0550-0610 with two around 0640.

Scott was correct in saying that it was the last 56 board to leave the depot this morning, being 56D. Below is a photo of it working the 1100 57A from Durham.

Nice shot! I'd went out for it coming back from Kelloe, only to be met by a heavy shower.

1307 is on 1/5 today, it should have left Darlington on the 1 at 12:15 - this working would usually be a Solo

There was a Solo on the 22 in Sunderland earlier, I'm not sure if it is odd

Yes it is, the 22 should be Pulsar operated.

Possible I mis-read the fleet number, as it passed me close to Aycliffe heading in the opposite direction.

RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - March 2015 - omnicity4659 - 14 Mar 2015
1579 on X20/20 yesterday after the previous vehicle broke down. 7515 replaced 1579 at 1600, late due to traffic.
RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - March 2015 - Dan - 14 Mar 2015
1428 on X66.
2864 was the Solo on the 5/5A - could have sworn the 6 was at the end!

Think 7439 too - perfectly normal at the moment of course til the Geminis return from Thorntons
RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - March 2015 - Jimmi - 14 Mar 2015
Solo on the 12/12A in Darlington.
RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - March 2015 - tyresmoke - 14 Mar 2015
2868 is on 1/5 today also

Solos are unfortunately pretty normal on the 1/5/5A at the minute due to the lack of Pulsar's available. Doesn't help that 1426 is confined to town's at the moment - on the 11 again today.

Forgot to note these earlier:
By the time I'd crossed the troad and went to ASDA, 7508 had lined up to do a X22, 7523 moved to I presume inside the depot, and 4653 (which, again, I presume was the one I saw in the depot) had moved to where 7523 was, and later it was sat where 7508 was.
Has anyone seen either of Ashington's Gemini's today? I saw a lot of DLA's on the 35/a, and an Enviro or two on the X20, and the only vehicles in the depot yard were the coach, a Prestige (?) two original livery Darts and two DAF deckers, unless the B7's were inside?
(Apologies that these weren't odd, I was just carrying on from my earlier point)
