7438 on X2/12.
4007/38/9 all out.

4710 on X93 too, with 7484/5/6 all on 81s. Standard.

Sparkling performance for Stockton too, 1457 started the day on 5s (in place of 1557) and 1555 was replaced with 1451 mid morning. 3 Pulsars by the end of the day with 1512 also on (covering 1550 away for accident damage)

I notice 7493 has an advert on the lowere rear something to do with North Yorkshire County Council. They must be losing a lot of advertising revenue with all these Max/ Sapphires?

Soon there will be no ads on the X93 and none on the X12? And the Temsas don't/can't carry them.

The MAX livery is designed so that ads can be applied. I notice the B9TLs don't have frames yet but I would expect them to gain them fairly soon!

Guess which NEB member is currently riding this **** heap.

Idk, you? Tongue

It was a Lowlander when I saw it heading to Durham - would have been the 13:55 #X24 from the MetroCentre but I saw it at about 14:25 in Birtley. Sad

Yep, I am now sitting sideways with my legs on the other seat because If I don't I'll be unable to walk until about Tuesday as my knees will be in great pain from being pressed right against the seats. Typical there is only a few on and they are all sat in the seats with space.

It's rattling like hell, my knees hurt god I hate this bus I hated it when it was at Darlington, I hate it now and I'm sure I'll still hate when it comes back to Darlington depot.

Aye - the rather brave dash across Park Lane when it was due to leave in two minutes!

1512 is allocated to 5s on a daily bases at present due to 1550 being away for repair.

MAX OmniCity 4645 is working a 7 to Durham! Strangely, there was two Sapphire Pulsars at the bottom of Tubwell Row, Not in Service.

Typical I'm in bloody Scarborough and the 7 ends up with loads of odd workings. Which journey is 4645 on?
