What's the normal allocation on the Houghton - Peterlee college bus? An X46 branded decker was allocated on Thursday evening.

1478 on 48/X46.
2811 on 64.

2849 replaced a very slow 1516, saying that 2849 doesn't have much power either, was problems with 1516 the other night when it was out all night

But 7503 is a Sapphire vehicle branded for services X21 and X22... and with it being a Sunday it will be replaced (if required) by another Sapphire, as theres plenty spare.

MAX Pulsar was on the 306 or 308 but wasn't close enough to see which one.

It's hard to find the fleet numbers on some of the MAX buses!

It's been a few days admittedly but 7489 (Whitby Park & Ride) was on the 43 in Cramlington Wednesday evening. Any idea why this is up on a Jesmond route as the fleet list has nothing about a move/loan?
