RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings
Sorry for the really old news,
Ashington 7483 was running on X22 on 1/12, I think this shouldn't be allowed? |

RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings
thanks for reminding, that should be 7483, the "new" Optare Spectra in Ashington,
but still i think that's rare as X22 definitely needs a low floor bus? |

RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings
They're certainly not meant to be allocated to it (4 Gemini and 2 Pulsar is the official allocation) but they can be used as backup deckers I guess, and they have been fairly regular for the last 2-3 weeks, indeed one day last week saw 4 DLAs in one day!
