7438 on X2/12.
4007/38/9 all out.

4710 on X93 too, with 7484/5/6 all on 81s. Standard.

Sparkling performance for Stockton too, 1457 started the day on 5s (in place of 1557) and 1555 was replaced with 1451 mid morning. 3 Pulsars by the end of the day with 1512 also on (covering 1550 away for accident damage)

I notice 7493 has an advert on the lowere rear something to do with North Yorkshire County Council. They must be losing a lot of advertising revenue with all these Max/ Sapphires?

Soon there will be no ads on the X93 and none on the X12? And the Temsas don't/can't carry them.

The MAX livery is designed so that ads can be applied. I notice the B9TLs don't have frames yet but I would expect them to gain them fairly soon!

It was a Lowlander when I saw it heading to Durham - would have been the 13:55 #X24 from the MetroCentre but I saw it at about 14:25 in Birtley. Sad

Yep, I am now sitting sideways with my legs on the other seat because If I don't I'll be unable to walk until about Tuesday as my knees will be in great pain from being pressed right against the seats. Typical there is only a few on and they are all sat in the seats with space.

Guess which NEB member is currently riding this **** heap.

It's rattling like hell, my knees hurt god I hate this bus I hated it when it was at Darlington, I hate it now and I'm sure I'll still hate when it comes back to Darlington depot.

Aye - the rather brave dash across Park Lane when it was due to leave in two minutes!

Add NL63 VRF to that, mind has gone blank on fleet number.

1512 is allocated to 5s on a daily bases at present due to 1550 being away for repair.

MAX OmniCity 4645 is working a 7 to Durham! Strangely, there was two Sapphire Pulsars at the bottom of Tubwell Row, Not in Service.

Typical I'm in bloody Scarborough and the 7 ends up with loads of odd workings. Which journey is 4645 on?
