I would think that is more than likely the board that starts from Whitby depot and finishes at Redcar depot, otherwise you have a lot of light running mileage there.

Sure does so I can only assume it got sent to Whitby on the night in exchange for another one? They do swap vehicles quite regularly overnight.

Darlington based Pulsars getting to be regulars on the X66? 1511 on today. Does this mean we're losing the Ommis on this route and yet another change?

7477 on X1 too.
I nearly managed 4718 on 27s but sadly wasn't to be. Ended up with 4007 instead...

It was spare in the bus station from Redcar. Our spare had already been used, so our inspector rang Redcar to see if we could use their spare. Sadly Redcar wanted it back at their depot, so I had to sit and wait for 4007 to turn up from the depot... and lost mileage ensued obviously.

That'll been fun? Not been a bad day for me on Arriva today? E400 7502 ( I think) into Boro this morning, a packed Omni - 4644 - across to D'ton on the X66, first ride on an Ecocity and then back, just, on 1448 on the 2015 5. Not unusual workings but enjoyable and nice one Arriva.
