The ALX300s seem to be allocated to the 54 too now - think the 52 and 54 interwork.

Unless things have changed since the 21st Feburary, the 54 still interworks with the 55 while the 52/53 interwork. Of course that could all change from Monday.

The sapphires often seem to get all mixed up for their final runs on a Saturday. We were on 1599 on its normal route, this morning, though. Wondering how long it'll be before they get that light casing fixed. It's been smashed for a couple of weeks now.

Evening workings I think are a mix of 24 boards and 22 boards - 7538 is out on 24/22 this evening as well (was the 2100 arrival in Peterlee)

That'll be from Sunderland, then? I did hear something odd and grunty earlier, but big'un dismissed it and I reckoned it might have been 1601, which sometimes growls, uphill.

No, 2100 into Peterlee is a 24 from Durham. Parked up in the layover area prior to working a 22 to Sunderland at 2129.

I had 1471 out on 5/5a all night last night (my last Stockton shift for a while)... Made a nice change from a Streetlite at least

Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - March 2016 - Jimmi - 21 Mar 2016
MAX 1416 on 7.
RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - March 2016 - X8X9X10 - 21 Mar 2016
Blyth's not having a good day for its MAX allocations!
MAX X9 Pulsar on the X7/X8.
Quorum Commander also on the X7/X8.
1401 (Corporate Livery Commander) on the X7/X8.
7606 (X7/X8 Gemini) on the X9.
MAX X10/X11 Gemini on the 308.
7466 (Non-MAX ALX400) on the X10/X11.
Blyth's MAX spares are also in use, including 7411.
Meanwhile...
306 StreetLite on the 52.
306 StreetLite on the 43.
(I've seen more 306 StreetLites in Cramlington today than on the actual 306!)
7492 on the 306.
1580 (35 StreetLite) on the X22.
4523 (52/53 ALX300) on the 45.
A different 52/53 ALX300 on the 44.
And finally, not an odd working at all but thought I'd mention it, there was a Driver Training Plaxton Prima at Haymarket around 11:00am this morning. I assume it was Ashington's 9990.

That's not just the sapphire spare, it's the one from the same batch as the sapphire 6 pulsars.

Frequent odd working which will now become regular is 1406 on 2s, keeping it on 2s so that if anything breaks down it's easy to take off the 2s than it being out of town

Dare I say it....
WRONG! 1792 has moved to Durham from Ashington for some unknown reason in exchange for a Solo.
