Remember I'm often just the monkey on these threads. I let big'un loose with his notebook at cling on corner, while I lost myself in a coffee Smile

There's been a Sapphire on every day since Tuesday or Wednesday, IIRC. The E400 was welcome for us, as it made up a bit of time, after arriving late at Eldon Square, then having to wait for another late bus to use the stand.

And yes, that's the run we were on. I'd have been completely oblivious to any onlookers. Not feeling my best and engrossed in my phone! I was also sat away from the window as the curve where the floor and wall meet means I can't sit comfortably in the upstairs window seat.

4512 aint a ALX300 so its an odd allocation Wink

RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - April 2016 - Kuyoyo - 02 Apr 2016

1566 out on late 22s (2005 and 2205 off Middlesbrough)

Strange, especially as I've just seen an EcoCity heading towards Bishop Auckland which is the usual Sunday allocation.

I was on the A1 'on top of you' so to speak.
It was heading just underneath the A1 as we drove over it.
Mrs C was driving for a change, so it meant I could gaze out of the window, noting a few odd workings and abandoned bus shelters!

Whitby P&R 2828 on 63 and 4700 on an X4

Would 4700 not be on the extra X4 from Easington to Redcar that goes onto 63s? Or is that still just college days only?

RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - April 2016 - X8X9X10 - 04 Apr 2016

There's what looked to be a 52/53-branded ALX300 on the 494 just now.
