No Mr Pottski you will not have that on the 21, I'll have it on the 1/5/19

1414 is on 2s


RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - September 2015 - Cock Robin - 16 Sep 2015

X66s are all over the place. 4649 came into M'bro showing a message about Max, dropped off and went out empty, then an hour later 1466 and an Omnicity were in together.

Everything is all over the place today there was temporary lights at the white horse this morning, someone spotted 3 service 7s running together all heading to Durham

X66 are late due to the traffic by the roadworks

I'm currently on a 5 that's due in darlington now, we've just passed Ashleigh house, it's a new starter so maybe that's the hold up

Cleaning the drains but they have to bring it down to 1 lane for health and safety

1471/3 both on X12

A streetlite replaced 1416 on the X1 this afternoon.

There was one at our depot for test today so probably explains that. Don't know which one though.

1923 nearly did an X5 tonight but I swapped it for 1420 off 29s

(15 Sep 2015, 12:29 pm)Stuartphin1639 wrote How long is it before they get tested is it 6 months? Maybe that's why it's in faverdale getting deep cleaned ready for test could be wrong though

As I possibly assumed the other day and for once I was correct ??


RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - September 2015 - Kuyoyo - 17 Sep 2015

1915 on 15
1472 and 1473 (I think) on X12
1512 on 9/27/27a


RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - September 2015 - Cock Robin - 17 Sep 2015

1512 is usually on 27A/9 if not required for 5/5A.

Durham are getting another Gemini for the X12...?

As a spare presumably - considering they haven't had one since the timetable reverted to pre-Milburngate Bridge timetable (consider 1415 is now Stockton's for X12/X66/X67 however like 1512 it seems to be appearing on 9/27/27a when not required on X12s)

7479(iirc) was on the X18 later on this afternoon, at the very least, was the 16.03 from Haymarket, however it didn't arrive until I was leaving on the 16.14 X21.


RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - September 2015 - tyresmoke - 17 Sep 2015

1554 was a rarity on the X5 tonight. Not sure what it replaced but probably 1924 which ended up on 9/27 in place of 1512.

Apologises for the quality of this - taking a photo of the photo on the camera is never going to be brilliant

1924 worked the 1640 9 (and looks like it also worked the afternoon 805) so it wasn't that one.


RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - September 2015 - Kuyoyo - 17 Sep 2015

1564 on the 1610 63 from Middlesbrough (might have been the one that works the X3 from Redcar - not 100%)

7479 arrived at Haymarket after the following X14. It left first for Belford but was overtaken by the
x14 at Blagdon and arrived in Morpeth about 5 minutes after the X14. It then continued northbound.
