Odd & Rare Working September 2021 - Keeiajs - 30 Aug 2021

Here is the thread for Sept for rare working.


RE: Odd & Rare Working September 2021 - tcts24 - 30 Aug 2021

We are eager! There's another 28 and a bit hours of August to go yet.


RE: Odd & Rare Working September 2021 - MurdnunoC - 30 Aug 2021

And is there such a thing as a rare working nowadays?

This gimmick has been done to death.


RE: Odd & Rare Working September 2021 - tcts24 - 30 Aug 2021

From what I here about the likes Gateshead Central, there are rare working buses.

If anyone wants a Vyking, ex-GNE 3983 will be doing the 11.13 Q2 from Central Station


RE: Odd & Rare Working September 2021 - enviro7501 - 01 Sep 2021

6131 had replaced 6160 at Eldon Square an hour ago on the X84

I saw Lothian of Derwentside assisting on the X5/X15 yesterday. How long have they been doing that?

Afaik they are on loan for 6 months, they might keep them.


RE: Odd & Rare Working September 2021 - Train8261 - 03 Sep 2021

NK56 KKE is on the 42A. Will only go as far as Killingworth

Edit: Strange it hasn't?


RE: Odd & Rare Working September 2021 - Keeiajs - 04 Sep 2021

6942 on 56


RE: Odd & Rare Working September 2021 - Keeiajs - 04 Sep 2021

Why is 6322 on the K3, from CLS to BishopAuckland.

K3 is for an event that is held at a Old Castle (I think) near Bishop Auckland on a Saturday. Its been happening for the past 3 weeks as there has been a fair few buses on it

690 X1 (not particularly rare)


RE: Odd & Rare Working September 2021 - Train8261 - 05 Sep 2021

693 on 18A

Considering a quick check of bustimes suggests that a Solo has only been allocated to the X1 twice in the past month (today and yesterday) I'd say it is fairly rare actually


RE: Odd & Rare Working September 2021 - Train8261 - 05 Sep 2021

I don't think it's a solo as someone told me yesterday they were wating to see it at Houghton and it was a streetdeck. Could be wrong though


RE: Odd & Rare Working September 2021 - L469 YVK - 05 Sep 2021

Unless ticket machine is wrong, 6331 is working the X45 ex Consett @1105. Subsequently, that then works on to the X30 ex Newcastle @1215. Will it need to divert to avoid the bridge in Dunston?

6343 is operating the X45. 6331 was showing as an X45 but operated the 47 route. Now correctly showing as running the 47.


RE: Odd & Rare Working September 2021 - Train8261 - 05 Sep 2021

Can confirm the Little Pinks on the X1 is a streetdeck as it passed through Gateshead just now

So just wrong ticket machine

And therein lies the danger of reporting rare workings from bustimes rather than seeing them in person
