1479 has just been on the 22. No idea if it went back out again.
I saw it near Auckland Castle at about 12:00pm, this afternoon.Smile Exclamation

That will be the temporary extra turn until the end of the Gateshead Roadworks which does Middlesbrough-Newcastle then comes back dead to Stockton. 1415 was allocated out onto X66/X67 this morning (swapped for 1404 at 1427, and went onto 21a(/17/27) at 1445) so a normal example ends up on there.

Meanwhile, 1512 was on 9/27/27a while 1459 went onto an all night 5 board at 1450. 1444 was on 17As and 1916/22 both on the 7s

2867 was on the X75/6, rather interesting is that it arrived at the Darlington town hall stop while an X75/6 Omnicity was the spare bus yet was not changed over...when I caught up with it at Barnard Castle, it then left Not In Service...believe some roundabout roadworks were to blame for late running services!

Would it be possible for the depots to be added to the services as Arriva like re-using service No's ie 22 64 57 the list goes on.
Thanks

OK will do. It does get confusing. Was much better when they had distinct service numbers throughout the network. Everyone knew the 268 was Redcar to Darlington and the 722 Darlington to Newcastle etc!
