Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - March 2014

Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - March 2014

RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings
E400 7501 is back at Redcar on the 22/64/64a rota (although it doesn't do another 22 today, been a changeover we assume)
RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings
Dart 1655 and Prestige 4044 made appearances on the X3/X3a today (both also working peak time X4 short runs to Easington and Saltburn respectively)

Cadet 1917 appeared on the 15 today (not completely rare) while 1924 appeared on 9/27a as well working the last 17 (the more normal home for SB120s) which is meant to be Pulsar. Here's a selection of photos of it from Overfields this evening on its last 9 (and the last 9 back into Middlesbrough from the estate) before working the 17.

Not forgetting 1904 on 9/27A too...

Durham were once again using 7477/8 on the X1/X2, as they have a few days this week.

It was heading south through Chester at about 17.30.

Re: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings
Bit strange seeing 1470 on the 64. I know it can usually end up with anything, but can't recall a Pulsar for quite some time.

7461 is also on the 16:40 57 from Durham. It's certainly unusual having a ALX400 do that run out of Durham. Not to mention last night's 57A also being a ALX400.

7478 is on the X1 again today.
1651 worked the 0605 X4 from Easington however that may be on something else, I will check later Wink

RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings
Any ideas on which X93 board the B7TL is likely to operate ? Had a look this morning but just a trio of Temsa's, 4710/12 and 4720.

If the trial of 7624 is anything to go by, it won't be allocated to a set board but will appear on all 5 workings over its trial.

7485 is apparently at Whitby so should be on, unless its off the road (which is not unlikely!).
RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings
Apparently an Ecocity on the X66 this afternoon, so my mum has just told me...

That X4 I saw 1651 on earlier is on a 64 board so not an unusual working, leaves Easington at 0602!

RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings
Pulsar 1452 is now on the 6, replacing 1769 - likely the last time a Pulsar will go to Stillington.
