Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - May 2014

RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings
An unidentified alx400 on the x1/x2.
Looks like it is on a slightly later board than yesterday.

7477 is on there today - was 0825 out of Middlesbrough.

Redcar had 4648 on 81s and 4655 on 22/64/64A today... Not quite where they're supposed to be (X3s)...

Should have yes! I certainly saw deckers all day but can't guarantee I saw all 5 boards... 7492/3 are due to transfer down in the next couple of days ready for the weekend

4040 replacing an OmniCity on the 5/5a at Brambles Farm and guess which one it is - 4659!
RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings
7477 and 7478 both on X1/X2 I believe, I've got the luxury of 1512 on 29/29a which will not happen for much longer!

For a second, I thought you were referring to the X4 that runs from Redcar depot and I was thinking "has this guy gone mad" before I realised you were on about the X4 that runs from Blyth depot.

Probably should have made that a bit clearer Wink

One on X66 is 1407 last I saw.

1491 was on 29s from start of the day. 4043 broke down late on (was on 28s)... Yesterday's breakdown 1905 (injector pipe went on it...) was back out by lunchtime on 17Bs as a changeover.

1512 will be getting a refurbishment to become our Sapphire spare, so will likely be kept on 9s and 27s so it's never too far away.

Only managed to get a photo of one of them, as the other appeared to be sitting around near the Stadium of Light Metro Station for a while longer.
