(21 Jan 2016, 8:22 pm)MrPottski 1525 seen on X12 in Middlesbrough earlier, 2853 did a couple of X26 from Darlington and 4650 was on 1/5/19 as wellThere's an extra evening trip on the X12 between Durham and Middlesbrough which runs off service 6, so a Sapphire 6 branded Pulsar is normal on that working (assuming that's the working you saw it on).

1461 is on tonight's sapphire service 7 was the 20:15 service 7 off Darlington
1491 spent most of the day on X66/X67 replaced 1404 as 1405 was on the late turn on the X66 again
The first x20 out of Newcastle on the morning after launching the service as MAX is... 7479.
I'm sure there's a logical exlanation somewhere.

There's a MAX B7 on PSV tests today, which means it won't be out until after 1000, along with the further one that was VOR yesterday, which may still be VOR.
Is that logical enough? Or would you prefer a couple of knackered buses to be allocated today?
7472 should also be on X20, after finishing at Alnwick last night.

(21 Jan 2016, 5:05 pm)MrPottski I will stick to my personal philosophy all along, I would much rather have a fleet of smart, clean buses, all in the same livery, rather than gimmicky branding.

(22 Jan 2016, 3:59 pm)S813 FVK Why couldn't they have done the PSV tests before the launch when the allocation of them to the X20 didn't really matter? To launch the service as MAX and then have normal spec buses on the next day really doesn't look good.
Of course, you will know why they didn't do the above since you get told everything Ashington depot.
