Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - November 2018

Actually its listed for Disposal, but a minibus shouldn't be on the 64 anyway.

1759 on the X3 today. On its way to Lingdale. Should be getting to Skelton any minute if anyone is desperate enough to get it.

2801 in new livery just arrived in Blyth on a 308. Possibly same one but 2810 is also new livery too.

You could have got a free ride on it! I was talking to someone who was on it at the time and apparently the ticket machine was broken and he was letting everyone on for nothing. What happened to emergency tickets?!

Emergency tickets are still around. The driver is just being lazy. Would have got an ****kicking had he been caught by revenue. 

1759 is one of the most fun I've had driving, I don't know if that just shows how gutless our fleet has become well except 1417.

Sounded like 1440!
Was being ragged around, but the driver looked very cold!

Never driven 1440 I do keep trying! Has always elluded me that one. I've heard from multiple people it's an apsolute beast!

Wonder what Redcar/ Whitby have lost. Should be five buses down from yesterday. Saw 4516 and 7425 yesterday. Apparently 4516 just been re-tested!
