Is indeed - but it should be a generically branded Sapphire, not one branded for the 24 service to Hartlepool (while the generically branded one is on the 24!)

1483 on 685 today with 4661/2. Can confirm 4661 doesn't have Cross Pennine headrests. Neither of the Stagecoach were branded.

1477 on sapphire 22

Durham nuts today. The only consolation for my 64 being 12 minutes late was the 22 having been held up in the same traffic, so I didn't miss it, after all. Dread to think what it'll be like on Friday.
