My eyes have been deceiving me, it's actually X66/X67 branded 4656.

Next Sunday.

1492, 1421 and 1494 have all been used today at various points - all hell broke loose early afternoon with services 5/5a/22/27/27a/X93 running upto 45 mins late due to the temporary lights at Brambles Farm going down.

4656 was replaced at Faverdale whilst on the 19 for 1506.
4656 then headed to town NIS.

That'll be replacing the 9:30-ish arrival in Durham which never arrived (still shivering)

This has now been replaced by 1517.

Must have been a breakdown.

Didn't see Id. It was the vehicle that stood out a mile.

That fits.
It was passing the depot inbound about half an hour beforehand.
