Pulsar 1453 is making a rare appearance on the Stockton service 6 as a breakdown replacement for 1753.

As it only worked one and a half trips, difficult to photo for anyone, luckily I managed one prior to the departure, a case of being thankful for the early finish at work

Not an odd working but Temsa 4713 was in our depot at Stockton this morning. Saw it leaving this afternoon, so I assume it broke yesterday.


RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - Kuyoyo - 21 Dec 2013

1743 and 4705 both working on the 5/X5 today.

OmniCity 4654/8 both playing spare roles today working duplicates on the X6.

9 branded Pulsar 1443 appeared at Eldon Square tonight working back on the X2 at 18:00.

Called a day of swaps to keep things on time - 1443 will have replaced 1451. Might not be long before 1443 appears on there again, although minus the branding.

Ah I wondered which one it was I passed tonight while on 15s, only spotted it was a 9 branded one Wink
Durham had DB250 7477 on there today too.

Stockton ended up taking 1755 off a 7 to cover 15s, don't think anyone would have noticed a 7 missing as they were all over the place some 20-30 mins late! I managed 2 and a quarter out of 3 - the traffic in Yarm was crazy today!

Both DB250s were on the X1, 7477 left Stockton at 1720 followed 10 minutes later by 7478.

Probably worth mentioning there was 2 Cadets on 15s today, 1913 is out all night (working the Bassleton Court ones)

A double dose of rare Prestige workings from Stockton today:

4048 on 29
4063 on 5/X5


RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - united6210 - 28 Dec 2013

1310 and 1649 both on X66 this afternoon


RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - 9920up - 29 Dec 2013

Friday evening saw OmniCity 4657 working Darlington to Tow Law and back finishing at 9pm


RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - tyresmoke - 31 Dec 2013

Unbranded Pulsars are rare on 27/27A - there's two on today! 1457 and 1458 both feature, I'm guessing there's some branded ones off for, well, de-branding!

Edit: and 1460!


RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - Kuyoyo - 31 Dec 2013

Dart 1655 is currently Whitby bound in the 5/X5
