1493/1501/1503 (along with Geminis), are the correct allocation, as they are all X7/X8 branded. 1402 is not, therefore it is not a correct allocation.

He must've ordered them out

One of these days they'll get to Gateshead  
EDIT: To stop them moving they need to build a glass hut at the Haymarket

The fact that it's a non-MAX vehicle on either the X7/X8/X9, in practice, probably isn't that rare.

But considering it's not one of the route branded X7/X8 vehicles, isn't a MAX spare, has a Quorum Express livery that isn't associated with the X7/X8 and happens to advertise an "every 10 minutes" service that no longer exists, it's certainly not the right allocation.

2850 was on the X75/76

Yes, I had 1416 on an X76 when 4658 came up Galgate behind me displaying X75. Very confused passengers!

Doubt it. Last minute replacement, no point getting a Sapphire dirty for 3/4 of a run

4656 on 1/5/5A/19
1498 on 7 (replaced a decker that's going to jesmond for vehicle shortages)
4649 is spare for the day


And BE AWARE jesmond is short of buses, Darlington are sending a Sapphire E400 up to jesmond just been taken off the 7 and is on its way up

EDIT 1: 1406 is on the 2

Sure enough, with a Sapphire E400 down at Darlington we now have a MAX X26/X27 Omnicity on the 12:52 7 from Durham.

Why is it always Darlington depot that gets shafted eh?

When I went past the depot Tuesday afternoon there was a E400 parked in the dead corner, so technically if that hasn't been fixed were 2 deckers down now, wonder if management know that they've stolen a decker, but when does the summer X93 start as isn't there 2 extra Deckers at redcar that could have been used instead of taking Darlingtons

Well we've now got two Sapphire buses missing from the 7 today with 1498 and a MAX Omnicity allocated in place. No doubt with a Omnicity allocated to the 7 AND 1/5/5A/19 it wouldn't surprise me if there is a non MAX bus on a MAX service. Think it is an absolute joke that we have to lose a Sapphire bus especially when we were already down one Sapphire bus before this happened, it angers me even more when Belmont have spare Sapphire buses to allocate to what they please, 1595 is on 56/57/57A/86 again today! Could they honestly not have sent a Pulsar from Darlington to Jesmond or is it a case of God forbid a single decker to run a double decker route at Jesmond?

Don't forget the hot bus for the day is/was 4649 while 1406 is on 2s, there's got to be more than one normal liveried pulsar on a MAX route

4649 on the MAX X75/X76.
