Big'un spotted a 24 pulsar on the 22, earlier. Probably related to the delays caused by an accident in Wheatley hill, late this morning.

1458 is today's regular (but still can be classed as odd given the running board calls for a Cadet) Saturday Pulsar working on 17a (it works a 21a from Peterlee to start I believe)

1102 and 1104 both on 22s yesterday. They had both been at Whitby last week.

Hope they replaced 7489 before it got to Redcar East!

Forgot about that!
There wasnt anyone upstairs from what I could see, so maybe they were fearing the worst!

Does Big'un like Pulsar's like?

Thankfully, yes, or else we'd have had a lousy day.

Forgot to add that this was even rarer and odder because the driver didn't change at Durham. He was doing Sunderland-durham-sunderland for his 3 hour stint, rather than the other way around.

And a good job it did replace 1105 - there was about 30+ people waiting plus a pushchair.
