4039 also worked 21a (which finishes with a 29a)
4506 meanwhile appeared on 15s

The Commander with the Northumberland College advert was on the X11 too... forgot to mention. Absolute joke.

No, 1401 was on X13 - replaced 1416 which eventually ended up on X10/X11 via a trip on the 1 I believe

I'm fairly sure that I saw it on the X10/X11, too, though I'd forgotten to note it.

We all know how fluid Blyth's allocations are, so it's quite possible it's been on both the X10/X11 and X13.

Blyth wouldn't need to dispatch vehicles all over the place if the timings were made to be more accurate. Arriva seem to forget (excluding Busways routes) that after The Angel, the 308 is probably the 2nd most busiest and profitable route in the whole of the region yet, they don't have the Infrastructure to deal with that whether in the form of spares, accurate timings or in the case of the Pronto supplementing the Angel (otherwise they'd be running in 6's), a parallell express service.

So Jesmond can't even get allocations right on a Sunday?!

Yes by the looks of it.

About 15 mins ago it left Durham for Cockfield. Not sure which one it was, as I only caught a glimpse of it.

Normally I see a captains tale pulsar on service 24 on a Sunday.
