Unidentified Nexus Solo on 55
Unidentified MAX Gemini on 308

RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - March 2015 - omnicity4659 - 14 Mar 2015

Haven't seen 7491/2 today.

MPD 1790 is still on the 35A.
StreetLite 1579 is on standby (now, guess who's on allocations today?)
Enviro400 7518 is on the X21/X22 circuits

There is a MAX X18 branded E400 in the depot ATM.

Must have kept it on then, having said that, it went up the bank out of Morpeth faster than I'd have expected it to.

Saw 7518, but it left on an X22 when I was arriving in Ashington on 1790, didn't want to wait around till it came back over 2 hours later!

(14 Mar 2015, 2:32 pm)Jimmi wrote 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.

Yeah they don't have a spare Pulsar so if they're wasting one on towns then they've got no chance.

RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - March 2015 - Dan - 14 Mar 2015

I spy with my little eye a large number of odd workings!

PS: Each word is a different odd working! Tongue

That's not really a rare working now but it kind of is, there's usually one on either the 2/11/12 due to the 21/X21 needing EcoCities

However, there was also Pulsar 1426 on the 11. So at least one of them shouldn't have been there!

Yeah there was 2 on the 12s
4 on the 2s one of them was 4813
3 on the 11 with 1426 acting as the 4th bus 
4 on the 21/x21 
2 spare in the depot

No odd workings to report today. Wonder what's been happening on the Coast and Castles today. Rolleyes

Two X15 branded Enviro 400's were on the X18, didn't see any other buses to know if there was anything else.

Are Streetlites booked for the 52/53 on Sundays?
If not 1584 was on there today.

I think it it's just down to Arriva's famously poor allocation system

43/46/52/53 all interwork on a Sunday but as there's only 3 306s out (4 from next week) I suppose they could use spare Streetlites on there, after all they don't have a huge allocation of Pulsars to cover everything

4653 replaced a Sapphire E400 on X21/22
7468 ran light from Ashington to Morpeth

RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - March 2015 - omnicity4659 - 16 Mar 2015

Cant tell you that, I lost the ticket with the time on

Hmm, do you have an idea on approximately when, and on which service?

10ish on X22

EDIT: on X21
It'll be on the X22 now I think, next working X21 possibly

Cheers, going to try and see if it's still on later, as I'd like a ride on it, haven't been on one for ages and I quite like them. Was it heading towards Newcastle? 

RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - March 2015 - omnicity4659 - 16 Mar 2015

Aye towards Newcastle

RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - March 2015 - omnicity4659 - 16 Mar 2015

Aye sure, a Max E400 went into the layovers earlier so this might be the next Sapphire replacement.

RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - March 2015 - Jimmi - 16 Mar 2015

MAX 1416 is on the 1/5 today.

After all that I went and missed it bbecause unlike the Enviro's, it was on time!
