No, it was at about half twelve in Saltburn!

err, well yesterday 7518 found it's way onto the route it was refurbished for, didn't notice anything on the X21/22 today, although some 2's were running in tandem through Bedlington this afternoon so at some point there may have been some odd workings there to sort that out.

7502 obviously fancied a change of scenery today and spent the day sparkling up and down the A1 on the X15.

1469 worked two trips on 5/5a this morning before coming off again (replaced 1555 and replaced by one of 54/55)
1433 worked the first X93 from Whitby to Middlesbrough, replaced by 7403 in Boro

They seem to be appearing everywhere lately, 7619 was on the X24 last Saturday. Other apperances recently have included service 43 and even an appearance on the 24!
Would have been more amusing if it had been either of 7626/7627 as they were delivered new to Durham depot for the 49A Durham - Crook I believe.

One X12 is currently booked for a non-MAX vehicle due to there being 5 boards at Stockton but only 4 MAX Pulsars

In a ideal world, They could transfer this board to Belmont and there could use 1415 on there and then it would be a full MAX allocation or transfer 1415 to Stockton in exchange for a Corporate VDL Pulsar. Though the first suggestion I would think would require a lot of work so would be unlikely but the second sounds more realistic.

For the summer, Stockton are covering 1 Belmont board plus the additional vehicle required for the Milburngate Bridge work. 1415 is already at Stockton (and could possibly be staying there). Hence all the reports of one of Belmont's Geminis on other Belmont work.

2 Frequenta Solos are on 1B today instead of the usual Ecocities, meaning some journeys have had standing loads.
