I've made far too many posts today about the X21, but I'll just stick the photos in here:

Stockton's offering on the extra peak X21 this morning was 4658

Durham's offering likewise tonight was 7620

EcoCity 4806 had a few problems today, meaning that it was delayed by 15-20 minutes... Even after the layover period in Park Lane, it left 18 minutes late (more or less the same time as the X7 was due to leave)

Also worth a mention are the Volvo B6BLEs which are still awaiting disposal - kicking about at the back of Thorntons' yard...
