Since September it does an X1 to Framwellgate Moor on a morning and Framwellgate Moor to Middlesbrough on an evening between runs on service 6 and a Pulsar is allocated on weekdays. Not sure what does the 6 on a Saturday though.

There is usually at least one double decker on the 64 each day, I'm not sure but I'm wondering if they have some on for school peak loads.

Was in Morpeth earlier today and I noticed a hybrid livery Streetlite on service 35A. Is this rare/odd?

It will be eventually once they are all here - but yes, 1581 is the first 'normal' spec Streetlite to enter service today on the 35A.

Can't beat a Lowlander. Solid, reliable and powerful workhorses that have served their time well! I know 2 are now restricted to local use but to cope with being hammered for 5 year on a pretty demanding route says alot! The E400's will start playing up after their 1st year when their turbo's gan!
