Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - July 2015

RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - July 2015
Sapphire 1518 seen in Middlesbrough about 1250 on X66.
1457 on 5s for us, not sure which Streetlite is missing though... Might be 1550

I thought you would have known. You seem to know just about everything.

Yep, 24 branded example based at Belmont depot.

If that is on the X66 it is a seriously rare working!

I've been informed from when it was sighted in Stockton that it was a 7 branded example

yep 7618, I passed it at Dalton-le-Dale while I was driving to Sunderland, trying to remember the number as I cant text and drive at the same time lol, noticed the decker coming towards me as it had a dark front of a max and not a sapphire.

I am told Jesmond used Scania 4663 on the 494 works service tonight - very rare as its usually always a double deck!

As there are two, 1469/91 are both on X12 today. Believe it is 1442 missing
RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - July 2015
1494 on 5/5a in place of, and replaced by, 1555. 1512 should be back tomorrow as its been tested today (and 1447)

Indeed, I'd probably go as far to say it'll never happen... Still got 4 other Scanias mind

What's the likelihood of 4663 getting repaired?

At 8-9 years old? Pretty unlikely
