Perfectly standard operation as it works an X1 morning/evening.
1447 was on Sapphire 5s yesterday covering 1553 yet again.

Since September it does an X1 to Framwellgate Moor on a morning and Framwellgate Moor to Middlesbrough on an evening between runs on service 6 and a Pulsar is allocated on weekdays. Not sure what does the 6 on a Saturday though.
RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings
6 on a Saturday is usually an MPD

It will be eventually once they are all here - but yes, 1581 is the first 'normal' spec Streetlite to enter service today on the 35A.

Can't beat a Lowlander. Solid, reliable and powerful workhorses that have served their time well! I know 2 are now restricted to local use but to cope with being hammered for 5 year on a pretty demanding route says alot! The E400's will start playing up after their 1st year when their turbo's gan!

Saw what looked like a Sapphire Pulsar, passing overhead on the stretch of road between Sherburn and Sherburn Estate earlier.
