1611 and 1637 were also on 1/5


RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - PH - BQA - 03 Dec 2014

Pretty sure I saw a MAX E400 on the 34 today


RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - passenger_10 - 03 Dec 2014

Not sure it qualifies as "rare" at the moment but 4653 (X15 branded omnicity) appeared on the X18 this morning.


RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - John_R - 03 Dec 2014

1639 broke down on 1/5 this afternoon.

There was a Lowlander on what I assume was (meant to be) the 1405 from Middlesbrough


RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings - passenger_10 - 04 Dec 2014

X18 branded 7531 was on the X18 this morning.     Big Grin

7520 and 7532 on the X15.

Thought 2 geminis were off the road resulting in 2 lowlanders being allocated?

It's not a specific allocation so because they are short anything can appear wether it be a Pulsar, an ALX400 or a Lowlander.

Meanwhile 7512 was on the X21

Lowlander 7436 on Service X2. Saw it in Chester-le-Street, being the 12:26 (saw it at 12:36, was late!), but oddly displaying the blind for Service X1!

Sorry Robert, I don't follow the Arriva latest thread!

To me, if I see something that doesn't look normal, it's a wild one! Wink

Forgot to note that two 09-reg Pulsars were together on Ryhope Rd yesterday - one presumably on the 22, and the other 23.

Was expecting the Omnis to be launched into service on the X66 today given that they had their publicity launch yesterday... Shame.
