Even more rare that its found it's way onto the road! Every time I go to Ashington (admittedly not that often) it's in the depot  Wink

I saw a photograph on Flickr of a Sapphire branded vehicle on the X18 yesterday, I'd hazard a guess that these two vehicles have been swapped over.

And a EcoGreen Streetlite on the 56

1327 eventually got replaced by a more normal Gemini

2849 made an appearance on the X66/X67
2826 replaced a Pulsar on the 28/28a/29 this morning, working the last trip to Lingdale
And a more notable one than the last few weeks, as Durham's 1475 was working X12s.....on loan to Stockton (unless they've swapped it over with 1474 for the last week)

Yes, 1474 has been swapped over again.

It actually was on the X18 whichever one it was, running around half an hour late, looked to have replaced a 64 reg E400 which is in Morpeth Bus Station right now receiving attention. Has a missing wing mirror.

7412 plus another example on X15.
7513 on X14.
7515 on X20.

Ah right. 

Anything branded "Quick Links into Newcastle" are spares for X14/5/8/20 regardless of vehicle type.

It also looks like 1475 has been taken off 5s and replaced by 1553
