It was driven by a driver I find to always be on time though, maybe that was the reason. Think it was 7526 can't remember fully

(28 Mar 2015, 4:22 pm)aureolin wrote I think there was, but couldn't really see from the road. Everything was tucked away apart from this one. There was the Streetlite you can see behind, another one parked behind an ALX300, and another Sapphire E400 right at the back.

(28 Mar 2015, 4:26 pm)Dan wrote 1601 is the Streetlite behind. Was awkward to get photos of them!

(28 Mar 2015, 4:31 pm)aureolin wrote Was 7538 in the same place by the time you got there, or had they shifted it?

(28 Mar 2015, 4:42 pm)mb134 wrote Was just looking through some photos on Flickr, and noticed that some other Arriva divisions were recieving Citaro's while the North East were recieving Pulsars? 

Surely some of the routes that the Pulsars were deployed on would have been better suited to Citaro's, such as the Blyth expresses, the X2/12 etc?

(28 Mar 2015, 4:57 pm)Tommy_1581 wrote I'm sure I saw a Sapphire Citaro acting as a spare for Sapphire 321 branded StreetLites. Luton?

(28 Mar 2015, 7:25 pm)MarcTheA4 wrote Took photos at Jesmond today with Dan - just need a few questions answering for captions.

The Sapphire base-liveried E400, where is that headed, I presume the 7 seeing as that is due deckers? Also, a MAX-liveried Streetlite as well as a Sapphire base-liveried example?

Thanks!

(28 Mar 2015, 7:30 pm)mb134 wrote The E400 will be either Darlington (7) or for Durham for (I think) the 24.

The MAX Streetlites are for the X1 (Darlington again)
The Sapphire ones are for the 22 (again, sure I saw that somewhere) so also Durham

(28 Mar 2015, 8:02 pm)MarcTheA4 wrote Apologies if it's already been reported - but I've just been informed that Streetlite 1601 is NK15 ABZ.

(28 Mar 2015, 8:29 pm)tyresmoke wrote Might be worth pointing out that 1753 is now finished after today on service 7, it's last trip would have been the 1727 from Willey Flatts back to Stockton, with the arrival of the 2 Solos (2805/2829) over the last few days.
