Rare Workings - ahorsmanthebus - 25 Feb 2019
7553 is on the 57 16:03 off Ashington. First Ex Yorkshire Enviro 400 ever on the 57/57A. Think it is covering for 1800

Please use the already made Arriva odd workings thread, saves confusion as someone might post the same working.

1534 has spent the day on X12s, joined at some point by 1428
1535 was spare bus before ending up on X22s alongside a ‘Frequenta 8’ Pulsar
1555 is spending the night on 7As after being swapped off 5s for one of the X12 Pulsars due to a fault which was fixed just prior to a changeover was required or 1923 (which needed cleaning internally)
Darlington meanwhile have had 4806 and 7540 on X66/X67
One of the X26/X27 Omnicity was on the Stanhope X1 journey so likely to be on 1/5/5a/X1 cycle tomorrow (presumably the Stanhope trip is one of the boards that finishes at Tindale)
Durham have had 1915 on loan on 43s

Im pretty sure that Service 8 is now allocated MAX Spec Streetlites - albeit X1 branded still.
The new 1/X1/5/5A cycle only requires 2 of the X1 Streetlites, the remaining 13 made up by the New Sapphire 1/5 vehicles.
Although, the MAX X1 Streetlites are basically Sapphire in disguise - exact same spec.

I'm sure the X1 Streetlites would be better suited to the 1/5/5A/X1 cycle - with 3 of the 'unbranded' Sapphires working the 8. As indeed, was the allocation on the 8 the other day.

Believe it or not the 1/5/5A Branded Streetlite are better than the X1 ones and a lot more reliable than them despite being limited to 48mph
The 1/5/5A ones seem to keep time better than the X1 stuff hence the reason for the newer ones being on the X1/1/5/5A

I was more referring to the size difference - in a prior conversion with a well-known member of Darlington’s staff, he stated that the 8 could do with something smaller that a Pulsar due to some part of the route.
