Why do they need to loan a vehicle when there's already one available  Huh

To get something more suitable than 7466 to run the 2?

And a Sapphire 6 Pulsar has just passed me on the 22! (Heading towards Durham for 3pm-ish)

Edit: 1526 - it's gone out again, should arrive at Sunderland for 4:30-ish.

7466, my thumbs are far too big and clumsy for this small phone keyboard...

1569 replacing 1437 on 63/64a.

Meanwhile, Stockton have a normal-spec Pulsar out on late 5s.....

Maybe because that's the spare?

Due to the Accident on the A66 this morning anything and everything was thrown on to the X66/X67 I believe at one point 4814 was on a X66 just to try and get some sort of service from darlington

1491 was on X12 in its place, we also had 1458 and 1467 on 5s. 1467 eventually got replaced but 1458 stayed out all night (2 nights running as the previous night had 1471!) - 1467 replaced 2826 on 29A's but this eventually found its way onto 9/27/27A

1476, 7439 and 7456 all on the Durham 64s.

MAX X12 branded 7620 is seemingly sat spare in Durham Bus Station, despite spare bus branded 7609 being on the X12.

Apologies! Out of interest, was 7466 still on there, I saw it at lunch, but the opportunity to post it didn't arise until much later in the day.

1418 has gone out on the 1535 X12 from Middlesbrough but is running 20-25 minutes down (that working also terminates in Durham on the return journey)

It replaced 1443 which then dropped back onto the 1610 replacing 1415 which has since ended up on 9 and the 1720 5a.
