RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - Jimmi - 23 Sep 2014
4655 is on the X93.
RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - Kuyoyo - 23 Sep 2014
As is 4651.
RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - Jimmi - 23 Sep 2014
1450 is on the 5.
RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - Kuyoyo - 23 Sep 2014
4710 on X93
RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - Jimmi - 23 Sep 2014
1424 on Service X66.
RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - tyresmoke - 23 Sep 2014
So to sum up from today, the missing Sapphire at Stockton was once again 1553, with 1450 being our cover bus today, we need 1512 to return then we should be sorted!
1769 was a replacement for Cadet 1908 on 9/27A's, certainly an odd working! 4038 came out as a replacement for 1922 on service 27 too.
Redcar had 4651 and Whitby had 4655 and 4710 on the X93, whilst also in use at Redcar was 1638, 1653 and 1737 that I saw. All of their Sapphire Streetlites were out today despite worries that some hadn't been taxed fully, so the whole of East Cleveland now sparkles :-)

"Tax applied for" used to work back in the days (as did a Newki Brown Ale label).

An alx400 on the 64's earlier on in Durham.
It was too far away to get id.

A piece of paper on the windscreen saying 'TAX IN POST'

Redcar used 4651 on the same X93 board again (0950 from Mbro) for the 3rd day running, also appearing on X93 from Whitby were Omni 4655 and Temsa 4710.
Stockton had 1446 covering on Sapphire today (1553 missing still...) whilst Mini Dart 1756 replaced a Scania on 21A at 1545!

This may seem like a stupid question and i have read the fleet profile for it but is 1512 remaining in Standard Livery and receiving a Sapphire spec refurb or is it being repainted into Sapphire livery as well?
RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - tyresmoke - 24 Sep 2014
1512 is in Sapphire livery, with full refurbishment to the same standard as the Streetlitrs. 1440 for Redcar should be the same

Looks like we're back to deckers today on X93 as 7489 is working the 0850 from Middlesbrough and 7484 is here to work the 0920.
Redcar meanwhile are using 1307 & 1653 on 22/64s
Stockton's Sapphire Pulsar today is on the 0835 5A from Mbro, but I can't remember which one it was I passed! lol

Not sure about the other routes which see EcoCity operation on Sundays?
RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - Jimmi - 28 Sep 2014
There is also EcoCitys on the 5A/X66 as normal and they are also on service 2 today.

After 1453 left boro on the 15:45 21A they produced Cadet 1911 for a late running 15:35 X1 don't know how far that worked.

RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - JoshP - 29 Sep 2014
How does the 1/5 interworking occur? Does it go out as a 1 and return as a 5 or do a full 1 (there and back) then a 5 there and back?
What other services in Darlo interwork? (Except Sunday allocations such as 4/14 & 5A/X66)

Only other Darlington services that interwork during the day are the 9/10.
