I know it wont happen but it would be nice for pulsars to replace them then that would mean there would be something remotely decent on the 35 than branded buses that are half knackered

1446 started the day on the first X12 off Stockton before being replaced by 1442. It is now about to replace a very late 1441 on the 1535 to Newcastle (which finishes in Durham on the return).

I'd hardly call 3 wrong allocations a 'bad day'.

RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - January 2017 - Buses98 - 27 Jan 2017
is there a reason why there are quite a few max buses on 35

From what I know, Ashington tend to use the 35 to 'test' buses after they've been repaired, that could be a reason why. There's also the possibility that the vehicles that should be allocated are off the road, and so they're using spare 'MAX' vehicles.

ah yes and ashington usually use this route to break buses in to service gradually if they have been off the road for a long time plus they will have an extra decker will the departure of 1581 to jesmond
