Was around 8 minutes late when it left Durham Bus Station. No idea if it has made up anymore time as it isn't being tracked on the map.

They've been taking the Streetlites off for routine maintenance, 1414 was put on the X1 this afternoon and 1416 was still on today as well.

Stand for ten minutes in Haymarket and you catch loads of wrong allocations... Nowt out of the ordinary, like!

- Eco Green liveried Hybrid on X4/X5.
- Corporate liveried Pulsar on 308
- Corporate liveried Gemini on X13
- 52/53 branded Volvo B10BLE on 45
- Nexus liveried Solo on 51
- Sapphire liveried E400 on X15

X13 still has 1 board booked for Gemini working.
Likewise, unless it's changed recently, one trip on the 51 at peak time is on a Nexus board (works 1 am 51 then 84/84A then 1 trip on 51)

...but let's face it - there was probably more than one Nexus Solo on the 51 today. There is every other day of the week, after all.

I saw that from my 44 at about 4 or 5 this evening. Must have fixed it after the 7492/Max E400 swap.

Saw the tail end of this when I was in Bedlington, was it an ALX400? (So one of 7445/6?, thought it was a DLA initially, however you saying it was a B7 has made me query this...)
