Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - September 2015

Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - September 2015

RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - September 2015
1415 on 28s today, just left on the 0800 to Lingdale 10 minutes late (to me that suggests it's not the originally allocated vehicle)

Some from biggun's notebook (we also spotted 1595 on the X12 - a slight surprise as it's been working the 22 all week due to the Dalton Park chaos)

The unbranded pulsars have had a busy day.

1476 on X12
1473 on 43
1472 on 56

Two to pick from and he got the wrong one! Good job we're here to correct him or these things would go down in history incorrectly.

And I've just confimed, after only seeing the 2 rear lights above the window on its way out from Durham, a couple of hours ago, that there is a 24 liveried Pulsar on the 22 now heading into Durham. (I can't believe I just sat by a window to catch it - Big'un isn't even home from school yet!)

Not sure if Pulsars are classed as rare on these routes these days.

Booked Solos so yes - all three are rare (especially the Pulsars considering they are on-paper Stockton vehicles now)

Not totally sure how 'odd' this is, but 4501 operated the 43 today, through to Morpeth. 

As I saw it, when it was in Bedlington, I thought about how much has changed in just over a year, last July it probably would've been operating the X21 that passed through minutes later, or a 35 that it would've seen in Morpeth, now it's a vehicle (type) that is pretty hard to find.
