The same one?

That would have been it, as the 8:10 to boro is the one that everyone decamped to. The 9:51 to Newcastle was the E400. The X12 went to pot this afternoon, anyhow. I had to tell a very disappointed family that the 15:20 they were waiting for at Eldon Square was still in Pity Me, according to the app.

1478 on the 22.

4803 on Sapphire 7. 08:42 off Darlington.

Run behind is likely to be a odd working as well as 7540 was removed upon arrival at Darlington due to the top deck being rendered out of action.

Don't know, I got on it this morning and saw this as I went to head upstairs.

There was an original Temsa on the X3 and I saw an MPD on the 64.

So, in summary, the 900 today has had:
7501/2/3/5/7/8/22/35

And was supposed to have 7419 on the turn being worked by a Durham Driver - however as that has now been towed back to Durham, that has for this last trip been worked by 1495. Someone's head will be rolling on Monday......

Ah - news to me! Thanks.

How long has that happened for? When the EcoCitys were first introduced to the 21/X21 routes, they were standalone on Sundays.

Been interworking since the 21 was renumbered the X21 last October - part of an attempt to solve the reliability issues that plagued the X26/X66 on Sundays.
