1715 ex-Durham works off a 6 so that's a booked allocation.

Cheers - I only saw it looming (as E400s tend to do) as it passed us on Gilesgate, earlier. Couldn't see what it was.

Beat us to it!
1595 is the spare streetlite that "belongs" to the 22. As long as the roadworks are on, you can expect to see any 22 or 24 branded vehicles on each other's routes or any sapphire spares as, instead of individual PVRs of 6 the two services are interworking with a combined PVR of 13.


7440 on 64
1479 on 43

I assume that was the bus waiting to do the 0921 21a from Sedgefield to Peterlee which does the Framwellgate X12 first and then gets plenty of time to get back to Sedgefield.

One trip on the X85 works off the 306 so that would be classed as a normal working

Can I ask why you are reporting this? 61/62 is booked for MPD operation so 1761 isn't rare compared to 1517 on Thursday.

I am reporting this as at the start of the day the bus on the service was 1762, but now it is 1761 so that is a different bus that was allocated to the service at the start of the day.
