Will have replaced something earlier on as it started the day on the 0540 5 from Easington, before getting kicked off later in the morning. RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - Kuyoyo - 03 Jan 2015 1512 replacing 4652 on 21A, 4652 has replaced 1445 on 27/27A 4508 also on 21A 2866 on X66 RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - Dan - 03 Jan 2015 (03 Jan 2015, 9:50 am)Kuyoyo wrote 1512 replacing 4652 on 21A, 4652 has replaced 1445 on 27/27ADo you know when 2866 will be in Darlington next?

It was 0952 from Middlesbrough therefore it was 1220 out of Darlington. RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - PH - BQA - 03 Jan 2015 7475 and at least one standard E400 on the X14 One standard E400 also on the X15 1774 on the 2 RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - Cock Robin - 03 Jan 2015 Well the Durham X1s were all deckers yesterday. Don't know why they couldn't have done a couple of the 57s Max instead of Pulsars. RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - Cock Robin - 03 Jan 2015 1799 on X66 yesterday. a Temsa on 96s at Whitby apparently. All of 1101-5 were seen at Redcar at some point. And 2828. RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - tyresmoke - 03 Jan 2015 1512 only lasted one trip on the 21A before being replaced, not sure what by though. Just as well given Peterlee doesn't sparkle right now! (Despite Darlington's best efforts) 4715 on X93 today RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - Dan - 03 Jan 2015 (03 Jan 2015, 5:57 pm)tyresmoke wrote 1512 only lasted one trip on the 21A before being replaced, not sure what by though. Just as well given Peterlee doesn't sparkle right now! (Despite Darlington's best efforts) There was a Volvo B10BLE on the 21A alongside at least one OmniCity, so I had assumed that it would be the Volvo B10BLE which replaced it. 1512 appeared to be sitting spare in Middlesbrough Bus Station for the half an hour or so that I was there.

The allocation from start of play was 4508, 4652 and 4658. 4652 was in the fuel queue in depot at 1635 when I got back, so I assume that something replaced this on 27s at some point.

RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - Malarkey - 04 Jan 2015 1589 was on the 44 at around 2pm Today, Got a Photo of it in Haymarket Bus Station.

Guess it was on the 23, as there was a Streetlite in Park Lane at about 1500.

I was too far away to see which service, and didn't check the time when I saw the first one to see whether it was that I saw the second time, or a different one. (I do know that I saw it/them roughly around 12PM) RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - Tommy1581 - 07 Jan 2015 (06 Jan 2015, 9:11 pm)mb134 wrote Blyth had at least one Pulsar on either the 1 or 2 earlier.

Which means it's not so rare - I believe 2 Streetlites are allocated to 35A boards and the 3rd goes on a 35/100 working.
