1493/1501/1503 (along with Geminis), are the correct allocation, as they are all X7/X8 branded. 1402 is not, therefore it is not a correct allocation.

The fact that it's a non-MAX vehicle on either the X7/X8/X9, in practice, probably isn't that rare.
But considering it's not one of the route branded X7/X8 vehicles, isn't a MAX spare, has a Quorum Express livery that isn't associated with the X7/X8 and happens to advertise an "every 10 minutes" service that no longer exists, it's certainly not the right allocation.

Yes, I had 1416 on an X76 when 4658 came up Galgate behind me displaying X75. Very confused passengers!

When I went past the depot Tuesday afternoon there was a E400 parked in the dead corner, so technically if that hasn't been fixed were 2 deckers down now, wonder if management know that they've stolen a decker, but when does the summer X93 start as isn't there 2 extra Deckers at redcar that could have been used instead of taking Darlingtons

Well we've now got two Sapphire buses missing from the 7 today with 1498 and a MAX Omnicity allocated in place. No doubt with a Omnicity allocated to the 7 AND 1/5/5A/19 it wouldn't surprise me if there is a non MAX bus on a MAX service. Think it is an absolute joke that we have to lose a Sapphire bus especially when we were already down one Sapphire bus before this happened, it angers me even more when Belmont have spare Sapphire buses to allocate to what they please, 1595 is on 56/57/57A/86 again today! Could they honestly not have sent a Pulsar from Darlington to Jesmond or is it a case of God forbid a single decker to run a double decker route at Jesmond?

Don't forget the hot bus for the day is/was 4649 while 1406 is on 2s, there's got to be more than one normal liveried pulsar on a MAX route
RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - March 2016 - LeeSinclair - 17 Mar 2016
4649 on the MAX X75/X76.
