7446 has turned up up at ashington so the other b7tl should be moving to jesmond soon

1406 on 7. Probably as a result of these two allocations.

7536 was that E400 - been a few complains on Facebook about overcrowding on the Bishop Auckland College 5A so presumably this will be regular (for now anyway - may need to sort an extra decker for Darlington for that one journey)

Oh dear - unless it's changed, that 'extra' X12 works off the 6.......

Y-reg Lowlander on X12 - didn't sound overly healthy earlier!
RE: Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - September 2015
1910 spent the day on 15s (and I think it will be on 7As tonight - which, technically, is the right vehicle)
1903 meanwhile was out on 9/27/27a as was 1512 while 1551 was parked up in the middle until 1050 - so the question is, what was on the 5/5a in place of that?
1470 and 7441 both on Durham X12 turns

I nearly caught it from Durham earlier but opted for the 21 which departed slightly earlier. I believe it was 744* something, I'll try and find out tomorrow what it was.

Any ideas if it just did just the Bishop Auckland College 5A journeys or did it stay out all day?

May see what appears on it tomorrow.

It worked the 0858 1 but 'should' have been taken off in Darlington.

Becomes usual allocation as it displaces a DAF ALX400 to the X20 to allow for the Sapphire Pulsar that we've got to be moved to Durham.
