Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - March 2017

I wonder if the reason why 2858 is getting sighted so frequently on evenings and Sundays lately is because of the rear advertisement for House of Fraiser? Could potentially be a case where part of the deal for the advertisement is the bus has to be out as much as possible maybe? Think similar scenarios have occurred in the past with advertisements like this.

Does it say Shop at Binns? Big Grin

And therefore that is what it was on - they do not interwork.

Speaking to a driver tonight you were right about them picking what bus they take out on a night. A driver tonight said he always picks 2858 if it's there as it's a flying machine!!!!.

Yer, that thing isn't the best solo it also in need of a new gearbox as well.

I think the 43 has runs which are booked for double deckers as I think some of the runs interwork with scholars services.
RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - March 2017
As far as I know the 43 should be 2 x pulsar and 2 x DB250
