Can't remember the exact time, must have been around late morning. RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - February 2015 - Stuart Phin - 17 Feb 2015 A gas bus (4807) is working the evening 19:10 to tow law and the 22:10 service 1B to crook from Darlington while the other bus partaking in the evening 1Bs is 1509 RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - February 2015 - John_R - 18 Feb 2015 1517 has replaced 1407 on X1 and is currently heading into Darlington EDIT: They've now swapped back over after 1 round trip.

RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - February 2015 - Jimmi - 18 Feb 2015 7436 on X12/X2. What a pain in the arse... I have right now from the Urban90s seats. RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - February 2015 - John_R - 18 Feb 2015 1799 is on X1 RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - February 2015 - passenger_10 - 18 Feb 2015 Extra sparkle was brought to at least one journey to Berwick today courtesy of 7518 appearing on the X18. At least it doesn't have specific route branding I guess... RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - February 2015 - Kuyoyo - 18 Feb 2015 1909/23/4 on 15 1445 on 21a 1901 likewise worked at least 1 trip on the 21a this afternoon, additionally working to Stokesley on the 1750 29a RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - February 2015 - Tom - 19 Feb 2015 1416 on the 308, quite crowded. RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - February 2015 - omnicity4659 - 19 Feb 2015 7806 on 1 1580 replaced 7492 on 20 1403 on 1 Shit allocation skills from Ashington and Blyth. 7491 was parked around at the old depot gates, but that lazy arse of a supervisor found a walk to 1580 easier. RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - February 2015 - PH - BQA - 19 Feb 2015 Wish they'd allocated 7806 to the 1 when I used it yesterday! RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - February 2015 - Kuyoyo - 19 Feb 2015 1458/9 on 21a, while 4658 later appeared on 28/28B 1512 meanwhile started the day on 5/5a, was replaced at 1135 and later ended up on 9/27a - on the night board that works 17/27 RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - February 2015 - John_R - 19 Feb 2015 (18 Feb 2015, 5:02 pm)John_R wrote 1799 is on X1 1799 was on the X1 again today, along with a 59 reg solo, whilst 1405 on the 1/5. Perhaps this is to ensure that 1/5 has a full pulsar allocation RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - February 2015 - Jimmi - 19 Feb 2015 (19 Feb 2015, 9:56 pm)John_R wrote 1799 was on the X1 again today, along with a 59 reg solo, whilst 1405 on the 1/5. Perhaps this is to ensure that 1/5 has a full pulsar allocation Oh dear! Maybe they are sick of people moaning about small buses on the 1/5/5A (it's not just me, honest). No doubt there will be complaints about them on the X1 instead. RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - February 2015 - tyresmoke - 19 Feb 2015 Redcar spare Sapphire 1440 unusually spent the day on the 81s today RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - February 2015 - John_R - 19 Feb 2015 (19 Feb 2015, 10:03 pm)Jimmi wrote Oh dear! Probably, but loadings on the X1 are slightly less than the 1/5 so it does make some sense.

I thought the X1 would have had better loadings than the 1/5/5A although when you factor just Darlington Centre - Harrowgate Hill much of the time on the 5/5A I could probably see why it has slightly higher numbers. Pleased to hear this as it was beginning to annoy me having Solos turn up. RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - February 2015 - Dan - 20 Feb 2015 1450 on the 21a - should be the one that goes onto an X21 this morning.

The 1 always has standing passengers in the morning peak, whereas there always seems the odd seat spare on the X1. The only time I've seen the X1 with a lot of standing passengers was on Saturdays in the run up to Christmas. RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - February 2015 - tyresmoke - 20 Feb 2015 1438 on 81 - yet again another Pulsar gone walkies! RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - February 2015 - PH - BQA - 20 Feb 2015 7518 is allocated to the X18 today, currently in Widdrington Station, heading towards Newcastle.

I was told that this is how they cover branded buses. Sapphire -Replaced by spare Sapphire E400 -- Replaced by a Max vehicle ---if Max vehicle not available, allocate plain E400 ----if plain E400 not available allocate other plain branded vehicle Max - Replaced by plain E400 --if plain E400 not available replace with plain branded vehicle I bet bloody moustache is doing allocations again.

RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - February 2015 - PH - BQA - 20 Feb 2015 (20 Feb 2015, 5:25 pm)Tommy_1581 wrote 7533 (X18) on X21/X22 Was on the 35, I saw it in Morpeth bus station this morning while I was waiting for my X18. (7532) A positive is that the X18's I saw were made up of: 7531/2 and either 7530 or 7533, as well as 7514. So I think it was completely MAX operated, with the exception of 7518 of course.

(7532) An thanks, Someone needs to tell "moustache" the difference between Max & Sapphire. And also that something's wrong if there's a StreetLite on standby!

Unlikely like, as 7518 looked pretty busy, and I'm sure the passengers wouldn't all have fit onto 4659 RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - February 2015 - omnicity4659 - 20 Feb 2015 (20 Feb 2015, 5:40 pm)mb134 wrote 4659 was parked in Morpeth bus station when I arrived also, so maybe when 7518 arrived there it was switched?
