1484 - 1490 15 Branded very rarely venture anywhere else apart from a single 17A on a morning
1441 - 1443 X12 Branded rarely seen elsewhere unless broken or a Sunday
1550 - 1559 Sapphire 5 Branded never seen anywhere else unless it's an extreme emergency
1512 - Spare Sapphire bus usually seen on a board that works from or too an X5
And even then, only been one (still unconfirmed) report of a Streetlite off-route. As for 1484-90, come July that 17A they presently work ceases to run.

It's true - very rare these days to find a Stockton-based branded bus off route unless it's all that's spare in the depot for a short notice changeover (and even then, normal find it will be taken and put on its branded route and the unbranded vehicle ends up as the changeover).
