A Ashington Streetlite was on the X15 yesterday, As was a X15 Branded E400 7511 on the X18.
The Streelite later in the day also worked the 1633 off Haymarket, Which is the last full Berwick Service from Haymarket, So I'm sure the driver loved the 50mph limit they have.

Not correct, the 55 is booked for 1764, 1774 and 1775 plus a solo/pulsar; however 1764 is VOR

Please read other posts before commenting - 1764 has gone back to Ashington (or at least was working from there the last time I was up that way, in early June) so the 55 cannot be 3 MPDs if Jesmond only have 2. Considering the 2 MPDs were allocated to the 55 when it reverted to being 4 standalone working rather than the 2 Solo-worked boards and the other 2 journeys an hour working with the 54, I think you'll find that it should be 2 Solos and 2 MPDs (for how much longer is anyone's guess - could go over to total Solo operation after next weekend when the number of Nexus contracts drops to just the 6 and 553).

Yep, it's still at Ashington, was on the 57 on Friday.

It has been suggested elsewhere that the two MPDs at Jesmond will be withdrawn on 24th July, and service 55 will be fully Solo, yes.
As for 1764 - it transferred to Ashington for the duration of some roadworks. These roadworks are now complete and, from today, it has returned to the reserve fleet.

Indeed, also been mentioned 5 Solos are to move to Blyth to replace MPDs on 1/2 as well.

Yes - hopefully the Nexus liveried examples transfer to Blyth via Thorntons...

Sure I saw it on the 43 this morning, seems to be on there every Sunday, unsure as to why this is?

7515 on the X18, however as it's the summer timetable, I'm unsure how 'wrong' this is.

That might cheer the passengers up seeing as the one before didn't operate, so a two hour gap in what until Saturday had been a half hour service! 4703 picked up service at the Clock towards Marske.
7485 on the 62 yesterday, the first day. Can't use deckers on the 64 now.
