Further replacement planned for Sunday 19th, then that's it I think.

Is the reference to 1759 based on your own observation, or just taken from BusTimes?

I ask merely because a previous post suggested that 1440 was tracking as "1759", and it would be useful to get some kind of confirmation.

(I think I also recall a post in another thread suggesting 1759 had been moved to Darlington, which, if this was a genuine observation, would certainly qualify 1759 on 64/64A as a "Rare & Odd Working"! )

2862 on the Sapphire X4 leaving Whitby full nearly 20 minutes late at 14-26 [due out 14-07]. Next bus waiting behind.

It was based on observation. Its tracking as itself now as is 1440. It has been back from Darlington for a while.

I've just realised but I don't think you can have a rare working on a rail replacement as they just chuck anything on

1550 on X12 according to Bus Times


RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - January 2020 - Andreos1 - 21 Jan 2020

Gas bus on the 7.

Is this standard or becoming more common? 
Don't get down too many portions of the 7 route, but it seems to be a regular sighting.
