Things all over the place today thanks to some awkward failures...

1772 on 17, 4030 ended up on 27s, 1456 on 28s (replacing 4030), 1908 on 29s and Redcar even had a go with 1101/2 and 4650 all wrong allocations on the 63.

1712 and 7477 amongst the random stuff on the Durham 64.
Also spotted on it was a Gemini and a GGO Dart (which was struggling badly to get up the hill from Leazes Bridge towards the bus station.

Aye that's what 1908 replaced on 29s, the usual reason. 1922 took 1908s place on 17Bs

7477 was on the X1 through Stockton at 5pm. 7478 also on the X1/X2.

7477/8 are the spare deckers for the X1/2, with at least one on the service every day since there are 6 boards but only 5 Geminis

You sure? It was definitely 7477 in Durham on the 64 not long before 1730 last night, running just in front of the Xxxx GGO Dart and 1712 (I was stuck in traffic at the time they all passed me).
It is on the 64 again today.

It was definitely 7477 in Stockton yesterday afternoon - easy to spot with the sliver plate above the destination screen. 7478 meanwhile was working Durham's board that slots between 2 of Stockton's (Stockton do the 0935, 1035 and 1105 from Middlesbrough while Durham do the 1005).

1743 on 63 as well. 4720 was taken off 63s (originally on 22s etc) and sent to Whitby apparently to replace a failed 7485.

1101 on 63 appeared to be showing "6" due to badly positioned screen!

Durham should run 4 Gemini's and 2 Pulsars on their boards. That effectively gives them 5 Gemini's for 4 boards.

7477/8 should only be on there to deputise for a Gemini, not in place of a Pulsar.

1922 on service 15 in Stockton this morning, not sure how long though as I only saw it once (despite being on 15s all day...) so it must have been swapped fairly early on!

On the 6 boards that we have, all 6 of them state 'Gemini Double Deck' and as such they tend to keep 7477/8 on them, as they had work done to prevent them overheating - work which 7469 has just had done.

With 4653 on the 2007 - hopefully two Omnicities have blown up!
1419 is kicking down and screaming like hell but it sounds lovely!

Services 75/76 had X1 branded 1405.
Services 1/5 had 1636 on this morning but 1640 replaced it at some point.
