(15 Mar 2017, 10:14 pm)Jimmi wrote Funnily enough, I had 2858 on the 19:45 5A from Darlington tonight.
I wonder if the reason why 2858 is getting sighted so frequently on evenings and Sundays lately is because of the rear advertisement for House of Fraiser? Could potentially be a case where part of the deal for the advertisement is the bus has to be out as much as possible maybe? Think similar scenarios have occurred in the past with advertisements like this.
Does it say Shop at Binns?

And therefore that is what it was on - they do not interwork.

RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - March 2017 - Mark P - 20 Mar 2017
As far as I know the 43 should be 2 x pulsar and 2 x DB250
