The run that comes off the 6 leaves Durham Bus Station at around 17:15 (Middlesbrough bound).

I've been informed that Stockton have gained two extra X12 boards from today. Can anyone confirm this?

7609 was out on the 46.

Stockton do have 2 extra boards - the 'extra' 10th board plus one of Durham's has also moved down (along with 1412 - 1414 is apparently the other 'extra' bus).

One main change is that the 1800 from Newcastle now works through to Middlesbrough rather than change buses. Stockton also now work the Chester-le-Street finish.

1412 was expected to transfer to Stockton, but is still in service at Durham, presumably because we have so many extra running boards today.  We now have an extra 2 6s, 1 43, 1 49.  The 46 is now standalone, as is the 48. Whether this will stay the same after the timetables revert to normal in a few weeks is anyone's guess.

Max pulsar and 2871 have been on the 52,53
7807? X7

1478 went out afterwards - whether that was the one we saw going in, goodness knows.

23 branded streetlite on the 24, this afternoon.

I can confirm 1474 has moved to Stockton for the duration of the additional workings instead of 1412.

They've already put one extra bus into the X12 cycle for the roadworks - now 2?!

7489 is on the P1 - i know it is branded for the P&R but i was under the impression it was for the P2 and 2828 was for the P1.

Extra turns - given Stockton only have 3 branded Pulsars plus the unbranded spare (which is on 5s today) seeing normal Pulsars on the additional turns (especially the one 1445 is on - given it doesn't leave the depot until 1025) will be regular for the next 5 weeks.

4512 is on the 63 while 1432 is on 62

What's on Sainsburys?

Buy one get one free on ready salted crisps.
Half price tinned tomatoes and extra points if you buy three packets of double velvet toilet rolls.

Not sure as I was there with the kids so only saw little bits and bobs while walking around.

Didn't see any Sainsbury's runs but the white shed was running around NIS when we got there. 1105 was the other on towns but the white shed must have replaced one of them later in the day as I noticed it heading towards the swing bridge coming back down from Eskdale.

7489 on P1 and 7426 sat NIS in the bus station. All the X93's I saw were B9's.

Max ALX400 on the 22, arr Durham 9:30ish

1433/4 on 64/64a
2826 on its usual 17a turn following its day on 9/27/27a yesterday, 1915 appearing on there today along with 1415 not on its usual turn (it's working one of the 9/27/27a that works the peak afternoon 5As rather than its booked 9/27/27a/29a/X12/X66 or indeed all day X12)

Wonder if it replaced the branded Streetlite I saw being driven by a fitter. 
Came down A183 and saw it at Picktree heading towards Chester/Durham on the A167.

I swear that I just saw a Frequenta 63 branded Pulsar on the 12:15 service 1 from Darlington Town Centre. Will investigate when it's due round my way on the 5A later on.

Egton Show is today and the 193 requires a vehicle with a ferry lift to operate it - so Redcar have an OmniCity on-loan while Darlington have a Pulsar on-loan (believed to be 1429)
