Indeed it is - sadly not on either board that does the peak 5As nor the one that does the X66 tonight. 1470 replaced it on the 5 at 1350 and it appears to have been sent out more-or-less straight away onto the 9/27/27a.

EDIT: more details - there was a beer spillage on 1556 so to make sure the 5 left on time, 1470 was swapped onto the 5 off the 9/27, then once cleaned 1556 went out on the towns.

Pleased it's not just me still getting the times for the Darlington - Aycliffe services wrong

Guessing it will either be the 15:42 or 15:57 journey from Darlington?

Guessing some of these allocations could be a desperate bid to keep things running as close to time as possible?

One Sapphire E400 has left Darlington 30 mins ago via West Auckland Rd, not in Service. Presumably to pick up service 7 at Aycliffe.

Could have even gone NIS all the way to Framwellgate Moor as a 7 has just left the Salutation Inn on-time.

Quite possibly, a Sapphire Pulsar has just went up West Auckland Rd, NIS.

Sapphire pulsar was picking it's time up

1479 just left Darlington NIS infront of 2 other service 7


Edit: 4814 should have been the 17:00 off Framwellgate moor, just passed it in Aycliffe Village going to Darlington

And a 23 branded streetlite has just completed a journey into Durham on the 22. There's been a Sapphire 6 Pulsar on the 22, too.

It was indeed, although it actually started at Durham Bus Station. It is seen here at Burnhill Way, Newton Aycliffe.

1479 left Sunderland on a 22 at about 1900. Standing room only and had to leave customers behind.

Sapphire 6 Pulsar on 22 arrival before that.
