Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - February 2016

RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - February 2016
The 16:30 494 has Longbenton DSS as on the front destination panel yet it's route is in the opposite direction to Newbiggin. The only 494 to Longbenton DSS is the 6:01am.

It also wasn't being tracked in the app. Driver set the wrong route?

 With the wrong destination I assume the driver selected 04940001 by mistake. 

The 494 never ever gets tracked, maybe because it runs SNIS from Ashington to Jesmond instead of from Newbiggin...

I assume it's probably an easy error to make when the Benton-Newbiggen route's only ran once a day.

However, I've definitely had the 494 show tracking data in the app before but maybe that instance itself was caused by some other error.

Yeah looks like that's on the 7

It does get tracked, unless I've been seeing mythical buses......

Every bus brakes down and has problems every now and then.

Yeah mocking you're second class allocations yesterday has come back to haunt me, mind I'm actually enjoying this allocation, even if we have non of the additional Sapphire features. Wondering if it was a late replacement considering that the driver is not in Sapphire uniform which is unusual for a Darlington working (same can't be said for Belmont) and I've not seen him on the 7 before.
