Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - January 2016
(10 Jan 2016, 9:43 pm)S813 FVK But surely there would have been a branded vehicle sitting spare in the depot, too? Going for the unbranded spare because it was parked closest to the depot exit just seems lazy.

(10 Jan 2016, 9:29 pm)GX03 SVC 7518 was parked closest to the depot exit. Plus, it's the highest-spec spare vehicle, so it doesn't make much of an impact if allocated to other services.

Last Saturday afternoon I caught the GNE No 1 from Chowdene to Newcastle and as we approached the Cannon a single deck Arriva X12 was pulling out of Lowreys Lane turning right onto Durham Road. Later at Gateshead Interchange I saw presumably the same bus parked with its indicator showing 'X12 Low Fell The Cannon'. This seemed an unusual operation for an Arriva bus especially as it has no stops between Gateshead and the Cannon.
