Aye 1504 on the 1 is odd, but a common sight...

And it's on there again today I understand - which appears to bring the sparkle to Lingdale for the first time on a Sunday (81s interwork with the 3 on Sundays).

Maybe not the first time as it's been out on a Sunday before. 1512 is also out today from Stockton

7485 on 22/64/64A today, with a Pulsar reaching Scarborough for (I believe) the first time... 1434 worked the 0950 X93 from Middlesbrough, Redcars other bus was 7486 (0850 ex Mbro)

Hybrid 7808 is on X4/X5 today.

An unidentified and somewhat unhealthy sounding 57-reg Lowlander (sorry DaveyB!) is on service X12 today, too.

Probably replaced the MAX Gemini that smelt like diesel and smoke.

1416 on X66

I would expect it replaced 7627 which was stranded in Middlesbrough earlier, failed before operating the 1005 X12 and I think the time I saw a Lowlander arriving later would match.

It was dark when I saw this so it's possible that it wasn't an EcoCity.

No jimmi you weren't wrong, there was 2 on the 5A last night and 2 the night before, it's to do with there not using enough gas so therefore it was in doubt about the gas being subsidised

Oops, forget the nice X12:

Durham: 7436, 7454, 7456, 7469
Stockton: 1460 but on the upside, 1443 did put in an appearance on the PM dupe

Ridiculous. Could at least have used the Sapphire one.

Two Temsas today, 4706 and 4709, on the Redcar boards.
I am told there is one non-diagrammed journey (0920 ex Scarborough) which will drop something else every day
