(31 Aug 2014, 8:44 pm)Dan At the start of this month, one of Durham's boards was allocated a Pulsar, for about a week. For the majority of the journeys I saw for the remainder of this month, it's either been a Gemini or an ALX400...
Given the appearances of single deckers at the start of the month, I'm guessing this one was a single decker board. My sightings of double deckers for the past three weeks or so can't be down to luck, surely?

(31 Aug 2014, 9:08 pm)G-CPTN What if they are non-runners?Say if they broke down while in service, they could ask the recovery truck to take it to Redcar depot not Stockton surely?
It's possible to drag them back to a local depot, but onward to a different depot would require a transporter.
(31 Aug 2014, 9:02 pm)Dan Elaborate on the boards which are allocated Pulsars on paper, and I'll be able to tell you whether it was an odd working at the start of the month or the remaining three...!

(31 Aug 2014, 9:22 pm)palatine3833 I'm not sure how the allocation works now as we haven't seen the new RTCs yet, but before today Durham's allocation was:
X1A - Gemini Double Deck
X1B - Stockton Pulsar
X1C - Stockton Pulsar
X1D - Stockton Pulsar
X1E - Gemini Double Deck
X1F - Gemini Double Deck
X1G - Pulsar
X1H - Gemini Double Deck
X1I - Pulsar
Strangely, the 2 Pulsar workings at Durham both run off 1907 and 1933 respectively, leaving the Geminis out until 1-4am in some cases.

(31 Aug 2014, 7:56 pm)mb134 Yeah I guess, as a customer, I would prefer consistent allocation however, in the case of the X15, recently they've never really had a consistent allocation, with coaches, E400's and B7's being allocated during the last few month.
Also if Arriva always allocate single deckers to those boards that carry less passengers, the customers that use the same bus every day will get used to this vehicle and to them at least it will be consistant (but bearing in mind this is Arriva in Northumberland with the X15, this has 1% chance of actually happening)
