1510 is standing in for a Sapphire example on Service 7 this morning.

1920 on the 15's.
Could hear it half a mile down the road after it past me.

1712 is on Service 43.
1304 is on Services 56/57/57A.

Another Branded X10/X11 on 308's this evening, unable to identify but surely the GBF needs to look into this as the B5's were purchased for the 308, not every other route Blyth operates.

I think the 55 interworks with the 54, so not sure if Pulsars are rare/odd?

54 and 55 are stand alone - 55 is down officially to use 2 Solos but you know what Jesmond are like......

Odd, last Saturday the 55 I used from FLE to Newcastle went out as a 54.

Reviewing the PVR breakdown I have and the timetables - the xx01 and xx31 55s are the stand-alone workings while the xx16 and xx46 are 54/55s.

Yeah, thought they interworked.

1415(?) was on the X1/X2 earlier. Not rare to see a Pulsar on the service of course, but this was a Belmont example, which is a bit unusual!

They generally have two on each day. 7478 was on there again today too.
Old livery Pulsars seem to be unusual but I guess that's just down to law of averages given how many they have in each livery.

I can't recall seeing one before, but there again, it only stood out to me in the first place because it was the old livery and interior.

They stand out as they have scrolling destinations towards Middlesbrough whereas ours at Stockton are static. Plus of course their liking of "Durham City" in the other direction.

7474 on the 554 Regent Centre to Quorum.

7458 on the 55.

1639 in for a EcoCity on 11s. As such, the last X66 tonight will be one as all 3 12s are EcoCitys.

B7 7484 has just come in for the 1125 ex MBS X93. Doesn't seem that busy so the allocations look right.

Akaik 2 ecocities are off the road 4809 still and one other

Have to dispute that - 2/12 have full allocation (4 on 2 & 3 on 12) then there's 3 on 11 (out of PVR of 4) which makes 10 on the road.

4809 is definitely still off, though I believe it is back with Arriva now so will be off for repair soon

Dennis Dart 1301 on 57A

MPD 1737 on 81/81a's this afternoon? What's happened to all the deckers and Ommnis?

Hopefully they're back where they should be? lol
Redcar don't really have a need for mini Darts (bar Whitby's allocation) so hopefully the changes across the summer will address this.

MPD 1737 on 81/81a's this afternoon? What's happened to all the deckers and Ommnis?

Sure 1737 was on Whitby Service 94.
7502 was on the 81/81A this afternoon though.
4720 & 4651 were on the X93.

Must have been 1739 I saw in Guisborough this afternoon then? Was certainly an MPD.

1739 was last reported transferred to Darlington however I'm 90% certain I passed it on Skelton bypass on Monday operating an X3A. Of course it may have been 1737! In which case your MPD could be 1743?

Felt sure it was 1737 but hey ho it was deffo a MPD and given that Redcar must have been short.

Is there any reason why Ashingtn seem to prefer to use the DB250's on the X21 than the E400's?

The 09 reg E400's have been on the X18 lately, not sure why. One was on the X20 the other day too...

A number of the E400s are away being refurbished at present which is probably why they're seeing an increased number of DB250s on there.
