Further replacement planned for Sunday 19th, then that's it I think.

Is the reference to 1759 based on your own observation, or just taken from BusTimes?

I ask merely because a previous post suggested that 1440 was tracking as "1759", and it would be useful to get some kind of confirmation.

(I think I also recall a post in another thread suggesting 1759 had been moved to Darlington, which, if this was a genuine observation, would certainly qualify 1759 on 64/64A as a "Rare & Odd Working"! )

It was based on observation. Its tracking as itself now as is 1440. It has been back from Darlington for a while.

I've just realised but I don't think you can have a rare working on a rail replacement as they just chuck anything on

The short 81s between Guisborough and Redcar on a morning and an evening work onto and off 63s, so will throw up Pulsars.

Gas bus on the 7.

Is this standard or becoming more common? 
Don't get down too many portions of the 7 route, but it seems to be a regular sighting.

Becoming very common now Arriva will put anything on the route including Solos

1597 on the 62.
And in it's absence 7418 has been tracked on the X12. 7418 seems to be a regular on the X12 according to Bus Times.

1482 was on the 6 along with a fleet liveried Pulsar as one of the branded Pulsar's was at Spennymoor Town Football Club this afternoon as Arriva have some sponsorship deal with the club.
