Not sure I'll be able to do so tomorrow.

Not sure, It's not DDA compliant so guessing it's just been used for driver training

1512 is on the 5/5a today so there must be another Streetlite missing as well.

Yes there was, 1552 the other one off today.

Sure is yes.
1101 due to move to Tiger shortly.

Here we go with the typical nonsense again. 

Enlighten me on the location of 1764? VOR possibly?

Probably on a diffrent service.

Sapphire 24 Enviro 400 7539 on service 7.

It would of made sense to have 2 so if ones VOR they have a back up.

TBH, seeing such an odd working is a dream for most enthusiasts, particularly those carrying cameras.

I don't know how you'll plan things, in future, but husband doesn't exactly have a spare car on standby in case the one he drives isn't on the road for some reason. Most people don't have the money for that and bus companies trying to keep fares competitive and strapped for space aren't going to have lots of spare vehicles kicking around with nothing to do, on a daily basis, either.

'Appen there's an E200 on the 22. Big'un didn't manage to identify it, though, as he was otherwise occupied when it passed a second time.

Possibly learnt from yesterday not to put a streetlite on the 16:07 departure from Darlington

Could do with some more Enviro's on the 7 leaving Darlington at that time at night, especially as they can often get delayed by the traffic down North Road.

DAF ALX400 on Sapphire X21/22 left Stakeford Half Moon to Newbiggin at 1000.

Typical Ashington innit...! 

MAX Gemini on 2

Of course, I bet they've got about 5 E400's sat in the depot yard

1493 (MAX X7/X8) on the X11 today but the more interesting one was the 1401/02 (the old single decker Quorum X7/X8) - couldn't see which one - was on X10 directly behind!

First time I've seen a non-MAX bus on the X10/X11 route since it got upgraded! Normally Blyth love to prioritise them.

obviously not broken or anything, just that they like to allocate non-Sapphire vehicles to annoy people. 

7609 on Sapphire 24, at Peterlee, for Hartlepool at 1245

Oh yeah, they were just giving the seats a dusting down

An X12 Pulsar on 5/5A.

4648 on 21/X21 (14.15 Darlington)

Also a generic one on there too.

Yup 4814 got took of the 21/X21 at 14:15 and 4648 replaced it, within 15 mins of replacing it 4814 came back and went on to the 12/12A

An un identified Omnicity on the 306.

4661 probably , I think it's always that one.

Correct, 4661 it is, seen it on Facebook in a group called Arriva enthusiasts uk

Aye, they'll not want another one to catch fire...!

Wonder if it WASN'T a X12 one I saw. Passed me in the pouring rain. Had the new United Airlines advert on the back, so it wouldn't be as two of the X12s have branding and the other no advert holder.

Don't THINK any of these were mentioned;

28/12 1475 X12
29/12 1328 57A, 2836 1/5
31/12 7454 57A
2/1 1464 X12


(EVERY Stagecoach unusual working I had to report has already been reported!)

Aye, they'll not want another one to catch fire...!

Wow, DanPicken using his brain and Davie, as usual, making remarks about OmniCitys.

Well done that man....

Plain Pulsar on the 21

It was 1415 helping out on 5/5A today, in place of 1555 (Wrights were out to that today).
1512 VOR so we used the next best thing. 1441/2/3 were on X12 and 1404/5 on X66.
2826 was out on 17s today though, 3rd day in a row there's been a Solo on there.

Plain Pulsar on the 21

Would have been 1414 as 1406 was on X75/X76

1493 on 2.
