(20 Feb 2016, 10:39 am)Kuyoyo 1415 is out on the X12 again today while 1512 is Middlesbrough Spare Bus. So, I expect it's a normal Pulsar on the S1 today

(20 Feb 2016, 12:15 pm)Adrian Would that really be rare or odd though? I'd hope it'd be allocated to the X12 when required, if it's not already on the X66/X67.
That's a shocking allocation. I'd hope it'd be taken off asap, rather than spending day on there.

I'd hope it'd be allocated to the X12 when required, if it's not already on the X66/X67.And some people think that the X21/X22 is the only Sapphire route with allocation problems... I'd argue that the 7 has more problems with allocations than the X21/X22, it just seems like the X21/X22 is worse because us lot in County Durham and Darlington don't whinge on about it all the time!!!

And Darlington ! Running a Solo - 2849 - on the 7, whatever the reason (or excuse) is absolutely deplorable ! No doubt we'll get the better this that no bus at all c**p.

No doubt we'll get the better this that no bus at all c**p.Darlington only have so many full size single deckers and chances are they are all already been allocated, so chances are the Solo was the only thing spare. Seems like Darlington have very little in the way of spare buses, when I used to go past the depot on the Scarlet Band 16 most of the time about all there would be is the odd bus VOR and what was awaiting scrap.

(20 Feb 2016, 12:27 pm)Adrian Really? I get to see the 7 come and go most of the day, and I'd say the allocations are pretty good. Although the decision not to go 100% decker was daft.
I can't understand it. The frequency of services in and around Darlington town centre, it should be easy enough to double swap something, to get a more suitable bus on the 7.
It's the passengers I feel for. It's a long old route for the inevitable standees.
