And 1468 on 5/5A!

4647 on X66/67 also.

4723 on X93 with no screen working front, nearside or rear!! Fitter brought it into M'bro to replace a decker. Fancy sending it out in that state!

(22 Feb 2016, 4:12 pm)R852 PRG wrote VDL Lowlander 7456 has been covering on the X12 today. Saw it twice, once on the 08:21 to Middlesbrough from Chester-le-Street (07:45 ex Newcastle) and then as the 12:56 to Middlesbrough later on, if anybody would like to work out where it will be now from there and catch up with it.

Next one off Newcastle by my reckoning

Saw it not too long ago heading North.

2836 on the 2.

Nightmare with Pulsars breaking down today!
1455 replaced 1415, 1459 replaced 1443, 1468 replaced 1512!

I think 1441 is off for test prep and 1550 off with accident damage.
Unlucky that most of our branded Pulsars decided to die in one day lol

1415 was actually Stockton's first X12 out the door this morning too. Roughly when was it replaced, out of interest?

A different type of MAX is on the 8/8A today in the shape of 1416, it's on the 08:45 8 from Darlington





EDIT: 1906 lives on, unsure what's it's  going on but it's sat outside tubwell row office with 2 fitters

2841 has broken down on stand I, one fitter was on fitting a new fan belt


EDIT: 1906 on 3A

7454 on X12.

Looks like it worked the 0820 out of Newcastle so in Middlesbrough at 1030.
It's not out today either.

1491 covering on X12 today with 1442/3 both out. 1550/7 missing from the 5s with 1494 and 1512 covering there.

Looks like a lowlander heading towards Durham on the 22!

Edit: Appears to have replaced 1597 in the schedule and has gone back out, again. Should reach Sunderland about 5pm-ish.

Seems like they're still having issues with those pesky Sapphires...

3 non-Sapphire sighted today, meaning 5 are off the road? (including 7525)
