7519 (I think, either that or 7517) on the X21 today
RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - PH - BQA - 21 Aug 2014
7515 was on the X21 this morning and would have been my transport to school for results had it not have been early...

As said a few weeks ago, service X21 interworks with service 35 on Sundays (and logically Mon-Sat evenings) so nothing really rare about that?

It's bank holiday weekend and 4651 is on the X93.

4052 made an appearance on 306 yesterday

Yes. At least the other 7 were deckers. Many running well late. Mine was 22 mins late from Whitby. They took everyone off for Robin Hoods Bay and put them on the next one which was 4651, then we missed it out!
RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - Roland Pratt - 24 Aug 2014
4710 and 4717 on 4/X4 yesterday. And 4703 appeared to be spare at Whitby.

I went to Scarborough in the car yesterday and we got stuck in traffic coming into Whitby and then got stuck behind slow moving vehicles so its understandable why the X93 is often late.

2837 on the Nexus secured 19 this afternoon.
RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - GuyParkRoyal - 24 Aug 2014
I passed an Arriva Pulsar on the A167 in Chester le Street at 17.00 with passengers on board showing a destination screen "Arriva serving Yorkshire"

At least they had an inspector there trying to sort it out.

1474 was up here for a 'day trip' sort of thing. Was at Beamish (as can be seen in the pic).

Thanks for that information, it would have been that one as it came out of Park Road North on to the A167 which is the diversion route from Beamish to the A1M.

7475 is on the X10/X11 cycle. MAX experience...
RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - Adrian - 26 Aug 2014
Even better. 4068 is on the X10/X11 too.
RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - Adrian - 26 Aug 2014
X10/X11 Max branded Gemini on the X13. Didn't catch the number as it was coming down the sliproad from Cramlington on to the A1

Not all the Geminis have been refurbished yet

Shouldn't be any unrefurbished X10/X11 Geminis on the road - they all should be away at Bus and Coach World so they are ready for the launch.

Moving on.....
4712 worked the 1159 171 from Whitby Bus Station to the Park and Ride site and return, to assist with the loadings. I don't think 2827/8 will be on 171s next year.......
