(29 Jul 2016, 12:41 pm)Kuyoyo wrote Usual allocation if not required on the 7 - although with it being Friday and there being a seventh 7 turn, it does seem unusual for it to be on 17A.
It was on 17s yesterday however, and was meant to be allocated to the 29A (the working 1920 ended up on - which works the 1725 X17).
Using YOUR usual argument, it IS unusual as its not 'booked' for a Solo.

What he's said is contradicting?

Well, he posts loads of stuff that happens every day as 'unusual' on the basis that its not 'booked' for that bus, so using that argument a Solo on the 17A IS unusual as the original poster (Jimmy) claimed. It IS pretty unusual anyway.

7446 on X14. 4653 missing, along with 7517 which is unable to be used on service X14 until further notice.

Any reason why?

Overheating issues, and it also stalled on a hill near Cragside, so they're keeping it off as a precaution.

Hopefully they plan to properly fix it...

There's a note to those who do allocations to use it on X20 or 35.

The X20 compared to the X14/15/18 is less of a demanding route.
It should also be noted 7517 hasn't been allocated regularly allocated to the X20 since being held on this restriction.
It has been allocated to the 35, Allocating it to the X20 is a last resort spare.

Hardly, I'd call flat out along various dual carriageways pretty demanding. Less demanding than the X18, granted, but as it's proper allocation is the X14, that's a moot point.
When you read GX03 SVC's post, it certainly doesn't sound like it's used as a 'last resort' on the X20...
RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - July 2016 - omnicity4659 - 30 Jul 2016
Despite requests from engineering for it to be used on MAX service X20, it has been used on service 35/35A for most of its time away from the X14. I also took a photo of it a couple of weeks ago on the 35 I think.

You'd like to think, instead of them demanding it be used on a different route, they'd try and fix the thing...
