Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - October 2015

Should a Solo be on the 26A/X66 on a Sunday, because I've seen them on there a few times on a Sunday before since the service became MAX although I've not seen the 26A/X66 on a Sunday for a good few months now. 1416 often seemed to join a Solo as well.

4646/7 both been out on them today. Sadly nothing to note that the Sunday runs serve Hartburn on the destination (will need to be for the NSAs once updated)

That would be me again. No, normally an OmniCity due to expected high loadings on the 26A.

There's two lots of displays on there for the X66, there's Monday to Saturday ones which are first in the list and then as you scroll through there's the ones for Sunday that say "X66 Middlesbrough via Hartburn and Stockton"

In fact here's a fairly poor quality photo of the correct display for Sunday

And here it is up close

As it stands, only the Scanias have been updated, hence why the solo only had the old destination on display.

4647 only had 'via Stockton' on show when working the 1330 from Darlington.

Yeah, I noticed that, wrong one selected there. The new ones appear after the original ones on the Deric list.

Dare bet we won't be seeing that display much.

Annoyingly on the 7 I'm currently on, the driver has put the normal Durham screen up instead of Framwellgate Moor. Hope he knows he should be running up to Fram!

EDIT: NSA screen on 7535 now seems to be stuck on "we are now approaching - Eden Arms"

The X16 is getting solos A LOT.

One of either 4654 or 4658 (believe it was the former but can't say for certain) is/was on the X26/7.

At 130pm 4658 was parked up spare (4652 on X75).
