(08 Aug 2015, 10:16 pm)John_R The majority of the odd allocations of 1799 happen due to it being the spare bus at Feethams regularly.

Until today the spare bus was 1799 at one point, 4655 when 1799 replaced it on the X66, then 7534 after 4655 replaced that on the 7

Just the three, 4652/4/8 - I understand it will be three of the (former) X1 Pulsars coming the other way.

Changed their mind on MAX-ing them for the X75/6 then?

Generic Frequenta Solo 2851 is operating the X66/X26 today.

Think engineering want all the Scanias in one place rather than having 3 on their own at Stockton. Unsure what that means for Jesmonds 4 though?!

Yes quite.... Those would ideally be replaced with double decks I suppose and could then be used to bolster the MAX fleet at Darlington, potentially freeing up 1416 for another project elsewhere.
All academic though until we have enough vehicles to cover all of our MAX projects!

Just a question how many running boards do the 1/5/5A/19 have in Darlington would it be possible to send the scanias from up north to Darlington and MAX that service

Vile machines. Enviro 200 or 300 would better suit all MAX Omnicity services

I think the Omnicity's are okay but I have to admit I'm not the biggest fan of them especially the amount of legroom between most of the seats and some of them do sound rough although they are 10 years old now and some have been truly battered especially the ones that went to Redcar/Whitby for 63 then later the X93 with the latter being a heavily demanding route so the that they are still running reasonably well is pretty good.

I'd like Pulsar's on the X66 myself.

I'd say Pulsars on some X66s will be the norm Wink

One of 1425-28 are on the sapphire service 7, surely there should be a sapphire branded pulsar on there

It was the 20:15&22:15 off Darlington
21:15&23:15 off Durham

A generic liveried MAX omnicity made it onto the 8 this afternoon, I think it replaced 1461 At around 4-5 ish but I'm not 100%.
