Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings

There's a 308 hybrid on the X8 now (7801), though I imagine it's one of the ones which was on the X9 and X10/X11 earlier. Never caught their numbers to check.

That's a 308 hybrid spotted on every Blyth-Newcastle route today except the X7; I'm close to bingo!

Only a matter of time before Arriva end up having to draft MAX deckers in from elsewhere unless any are ordered this year! Wonder which buses would win in a drag race between Crook's Pronto B7s and Ashington's 57 plate Sapphire E400s.

Think I'd still go with the E400, the last time I saw one of the 'Pronto' vehicles, it looked like it wanted to just give up,

Though I agree, Arriva need to take a serious look at the X21/22 stock, Streetlites have been on there for the past three days (and more than one on each day, according to posts on here), which is unacceptable.
