4811 is standing in for a branded example on the 21 today.

1617 is on the 1/5A.

4001 and 1308 on the 2.

1476 on the 7's, as was 1509 earlier.

1646 on X66
4007 on 8/8A

Is there a reason for not using Prestiges on the X66.

7529 was on the X21 this afternoon 

Two R reg Plaxton Pointer Darts are on the 1/5 today.

1646 is on the 1/5A too.

Seriously Arriva three old Darts on the 1/5/5A pathetic, why are we loosing our Pulsars to other services and have to cram on a 16 year old Darts which aren't big enough.

They seem to be sharing them around as the X66 had 4 Darts yesterday at one point...
It will probably continue like that until the Scanias return.

Seems to be full Pulsar on the X66 today.

It's probably better if Pulsars do the X66 but why should the 1/5/5A suffer, also people have been warned about no wheelchair access on the X66 but there is no warning for the appearances on the 1/5/5A, 2 and 8/8A over the last few day and parts of the 5/5A, 8/8A only have one bus an hour which is much good if you are in a wheelchair.

Ideally none of the routes should have to live with the Darts but there you go. If it was me I would probably take the Pulsar off the 12, and maybe shove a Dart on Richmonds too to help spread the pain around. If I had to guess I would say the Prestiges are not suitable for the X66 as I bet they keep overheating. 4007 used to be close to boiling on the 21A

4001 wasn't brilliant on the X66 last week when I rode it, was glad to be off.

Never seen a Pulsar on the 12/12A yet, normally you end up with a Dart or Prestige on the 2 or 11 instead.

Anyway, 7484 is on the 81.

1647 on 1/5 & 2843 on 75/76.

Wheelchairs should still be able to get on the darts.

Yes wheelchairs will be able to get on a Dart, unless there is alot of people onboard and there is a seat shortage because Darts have less seats.

2866 has just replaced a branded Pulsar on X1 at Faverdale

7516 is on the X21/X22 today... Another refurb E400 is on the 35 (possibly reg FNZ)

And 4705 reported on X93 - go figure...

Belmont have 1476 on the 7 for the third day in a row and Darlington have joined in the non Sapphire fun by allocating 1508 on the run in front of 1476.

Just seen 4007 at Harrowgate Hill but didn't see what service it was on, I'm guessing 1/5.

1309 on service 4

1424 on the 75/76!

2829 on 8/8A.
Another Solo on 75/76
