7481 is on the 1 this morning, when I saw it there were little to no free seats anywhere on it

It must have only started to happen recently (and 'frequently' at that) as i have never seen any images of an MPD on the X93 or seen one for myself before.
1757 used to be on regularly.

Also on Sapphires yesterday was 1457 as a replacement for 1553. It was replaced itself late in the day by 4652 (although that didn't actually do any service work) and 1455 replaced 1559 for its last trip at 1700 too.

Whitby had 4710 and 4655 on X93 today, while 7485 was on it's usual home of the 81 (I did see it on the 93 one day last week, no lie!)
Stockton finished the day with 1494 on the 5s... Not sure which Streetlite it replaced but would take a guess at 1553...! 4717 was waiting to be picked up from Stockton depot tonight
RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - Jimmi - 22 Sep 2014
Not really rare but 1421 and 7477 are on the X1/X2.
RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - tyresmoke - 22 Sep 2014
1444 covering on Sapphire this morning for Stockton, no surprise that the missing Streetlite was 1553. It was of course operating the board which does the dupe to Nunthorpe, for which only the Streetlites have a screen programmed! So it ran displaying Sapphire instead.
Other odd workings included 1923 on 28, 7485 on 81 and 4651/4710 on X93. Redcar were also using disposal Prestiges 4001/07 on the 63 of course, on loan from Stockton's scrap pile. There was also an ALX200 on the 63 this morning.
RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - Coppercap40 - 22 Sep 2014
7437 on X13

1737 on 63 as well.
Why would they programme 1444 to show Sapphire but not 5 Swans Corner?!

What's unusual about 1451/91 on 29s? They can't use Prestiges now! There was a third Pulsar on as well.

Strange bringing out 4001/7 for what must surely be one day?! Had they been delicensed? Suggests they could be two of the ones going to Darlington??

There was a Lowlander on the 1 this morning, didn't see which one, it was on the same run as the two double deckers I've seen previously, I'll try and see it for the rest of this week, see if they always allocate a double decker

Could that have been 7437? Which of course was reported in the X13 - could that point to a trip on the 1 running on the front of an X13 board?

Prestiges for Darlington? Really?
RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - Jimmi - 22 Sep 2014
Prestiges for Darlington? Really?I believe that Darlington is just temporarily getting some Prestiges to allow the Omnicitys to go for MAX refurbishment.
