Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - February 2016

RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - February 2016
7415 confirmed B7TL on Sapphires, Regent Centre now X21 Newbiggin

(23 Feb 2016, 5:48 pm)Jimmi wrote What's the allocation for the X30 as I saw an ALX300 on one of the earlier runs.

Usually B7TLs/DB250s when I've seen and been on them.

Edit: Appears to have replaced 1597 in the schedule and has gone back out, again. Should reach Sunderland about 5pm-ish.
It's 7455. About to do another trip to Sunderland now.

So that's 4 sighted today, unless that was the one you saw at lunchtime?

Having 5 (potentially 6) of the same vehicle type VOR at once is alarming! (I understand that there is nothing anyone can do about 7525, although the same can't be said about the others as far as I'm aware)

I know, that was included in the 'potential 4' (GX03SVC mentioned 1580 earlier)

Anything (usually ALX300) it runs off 52/54

I thought it was the 43/4/5 that it ran off. Must have changed. Does Jesmond still do the X10 after arriving in Blyth?
