Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - April 2015 - R852 PRG - 31 Mar 2015

Lowlander 7440 was on the 49s.

7518 on X14


RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - April 2015 - mb134 - 01 Apr 2015

7514 on X21, heading towards Ashington now.

Meanwhile 7514 was on Sapphires, it wouldn't have done much harm allocating 7514 on X14s.

I tell them over and over again that the Sapphire spare should be at Ashington bus station on standby or on the X21/22 if a Sapphire vehicle was VOR.

This is getting beyond belief now. What part of "KEEP ON STANDBY FOR X21/X22" do they not get?

7490 on 54. A 306 hybrid was also on 54

4709 (replaced 7486) and 4720/4718 (replaced 7404) on X93 today

Guessing this was due to high winds?

No 7486 came off this morning in Whitby due to an unknown problem, 7404 was changed over in Middlesbrough at 1820 for inspection tonight, replaced with 4720 which then suffered vandalism enroute out of Middlesbrough so was replaced by 4718 at Ormesby

How are passengers, drivers and Arriva alike finding the B9s on the X93 compared to the B7s and E400s?

Reliability and punctuality is the highest it's ever been on the X93.

Unidentified Lowlander on the Durham 64.


RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - April 2015 - Stewy - 02 Apr 2015

RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - April 2015 - Kuyoyo - 02 Apr 2015

1492 on 5/5a (one of the all night ones as well!)


RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - April 2015 - mb134 - 02 Apr 2015

Streetlite on the 52(?)

Unsure if this is odd, but 7470 is on the X5 (didn't even know this had moved to Blyth!)


RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - April 2015 - Cock Robin - 02 Apr 2015

Max 1441 on 21A yesterday.


RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - April 2015 - mb134 - 02 Apr 2015

7454 on X2


RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - April 2015 - Kuyoyo - 02 Apr 2015

Replaced by the vehicle it originally replaced - 1552.

And then the fun began, as Scott pointed out in the Latest thread, chaos in Middlesbrough this afternoon means the majority of 5 and 5As have been running into the Bus Station late. As such, 1512 was swapped off it's normal 27/X5 board to replace 1556 on the 1435 5A. 1556 then left 27 minutes late on the 1420 5 replacing 1558 which then started a 15 minute drop back until the 1535 5a when 1557 replaced 1554.

In other reports, 2808 is on the 27 this afternoon and will have worked the 1630 17 to Bassleton Court and 1730 17a to Stockon.
