Is the 21/X21 full EcoCity operation? As every photo apart from my photo of 1799 on the 21 yesterday morning has been an EcoCity. Could it be that the 0636 21 from Peterlee to Darlington could be operated by a MPD or Solo.
There is one morning 21 journey that presumably runs onto Service 4 when it arrives into town.
There is also a morning 4 journey that appears to be operated by an Ecocity.
Might appear to be madness, but I expect it is something they do for duty efficiency or maybe to even avoid a required changeover 'too early' in the town centre.
I know they use them on more lengthy routes at the weekend to give them a run out, helping their reliability. Too much slow town work is just as bad as too much high speed work.
