What's the normal allocation on the Houghton - Peterlee college bus? An X46 branded decker was allocated on Thursday evening.

2849 replaced a very slow 1516, saying that 2849 doesn't have much power either, was problems with 1516 the other night when it was out all night

But 7503 is a Sapphire vehicle branded for services X21 and X22... and with it being a Sunday it will be replaced (if required) by another Sapphire, as theres plenty spare.

It's hard to find the fleet numbers on some of the MAX buses!

It's been a few days admittedly but 7489 (Whitby Park & Ride) was on the 43 in Cramlington Wednesday evening. Any idea why this is up on a Jesmond route as the fleet list has nothing about a move/loan?
