(17 May 2015, 4:52 pm)Jimmi wrote As a result of service changes in Darlington from today there looks to have been some changes to allocations and interworking patterns to services on Sundays.
Service 5A now interworks with service 12 (12 between Darlington Town Centre and Morton Park).
Sapphire 7 now interworks with service 19 using Sapphire Pulsars.
I think the X75 will interwork with service 12 between Darlington and Hurworth seem as they both now operate every 2 hours on a Sunday although this was not possible today as the road is still closed at Calbury so the diversionary 76A was still operating today so I imagine they both operated standalone today.
Today service 2 was using a mix of EcoCitys and Optare Solos.
There was at least one EcoCity on service 10 but sadly I didn't get a photo of this
Service 76A was operated by Solo 2865 where as on previous Sundays it was EcoCity operated.
As reported yesterday EcoCity 4813 has lost it's Mobitec destination equipment in favour of Hanover units.

Yes jimmi you are right with the X75 interworking with the 12 to hurworth, and due to the road closure it wasn't possible so today the driver of the 12 to hurworth had a pretty good shift, she only done 4 trips to hurworth and back, and had 1hr 30 mins sit in between runs on the 12
the 2 ecocitys on the new service 2s were 4810 and 4806, and as you said a solo appeared on there at one point to help get the services back on time
the solo on the 12 (Darlington to Hurworth) was 2861
if anyone is a member of Arriva UK Enthusiasts on Facebook, there is multiple pictures of 4802 on service 10s today, sundays will now see a Ecocity on service 10
