Yep, they couldn't be bothered to put it on the X18. I know who is exactly to blame for this odd working, and he's an anti-enthusiast miserable git.

To be honest from.That photo it looks like its had a bump as it has a dent in the bumper and it wasn't there at 10:45 when I seen it, I know the driver so I'll have to ask RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - February 2015 - Jimmi - 10 Feb 2015 (10 Feb 2015, 5:35 pm)Stuart Phin wrote To be honest from.That photo it looks like its had a bump as it has a dent in the bumper and it wasn't there at 10:45 when I seen it, I know the driver so I'll have to ask I took this photo at 1250. It did another round trip after I took this photo. Don't know what it is with the bumper on this bus, saw it a few months back and it looked like it was hanging off.

So another round trip would have been 15:30 back into Darlington, then it must have got taken off possibly replaced by 2850 as 2850 disappeared between 15:21 and 16.06, as 2850 was the spare bus, then that would explain where it went and then they changed a gas bus of the 12s for 1427 at 15:45 RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - February 2015 - Jimmi - 10 Feb 2015 (10 Feb 2015, 10:39 pm)Stuart Phin wrote So another round trip would have been 15:30 back into Darlington, then it must have got taken off possibly replaced by 2850 as 2850 disappeared between 15:21 and 16.06, as 2850 was the spare bus, then that would explain where it went and then they changed a gas bus of the 12s for 1427 at 15:45 I got 1427 from Durham at 1437 so it would have been back in Darlington at 1545. Don't fancy the thought of a Solo on the 7 at that time especially.

Hmmmm not to sure on that one then, but whatever happened 1427 was on 12 at 15:51 as I passed it on yarn road, the driver that had 1427 on the 12s had a gas bus to start with as he took it over at 15:10 as I went past it near sainsburys, then I went past the same driver at yarm road on 1427 Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - February 2015 - cbma06 - 11 Feb 2015 Solo on service 24, just entering Peterlee bus station to hartlepool Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - February 2015 - MrFozz - 11 Feb 2015 A 7 branded vehicle was in Peterlee earlier on about the same time I spied GNE 5375, dont know if it actually replaced anything ![]() RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - February 2015 - tyresmoke - 11 Feb 2015 1439 on 22/64 RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - February 2015 - Stuart Phin - 11 Feb 2015 (11 Feb 2015, 6:01 pm)MrFozz wrote A 7 branded vehicle was in Peterlee earlier on about the same time I spied GNE 5375, dont know if it actually replaced anything That may have been used to get ready for the next stop announcement that this service is getting as it looks like its on stand A and it also looks like there's 3 drivers on it RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - February 2015 - MrFozz - 11 Feb 2015 (11 Feb 2015, 9:55 pm)Stuart Phin wrote That may have been used to get ready for the next stop announcement that this service is getting as it looks like its on stand A and it also looks like there's 3 drivers on itCorrectomundo...It is on Stand A, I thought it may have been replacing a vehicle I had seen not 5 minutes previously at The Moorcock that was knackered RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - February 2015 - Dan - 12 Feb 2015 1415 on 22 RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - February 2015 - omnicity4659 - 12 Feb 2015 (12 Feb 2015, 4:04 pm)Dan wrote 1415 on 22 Shite photo that ![]() I expected better of you! ![]() RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - February 2015 - Dan - 12 Feb 2015 (12 Feb 2015, 4:21 pm)Tommy_1581 wrote Shite photo thatHaha, I was getting on the bus so I could only get a quick one with my phone.

I haven't recovered from getting into school at more-or-less 08:00am on the dot every morning to get my coursework completed - before using all of my frees this week to work on it, too! Have so much work that needs to be in for 16:00 tomorrow - was no chance of me hanging around to get better photos than the above. ![]() RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - February 2015 - GUG - 12 Feb 2015 4645 Trying to be sapphire yesterday... ![]() |
