That's the correct allocation, isn't it?

Yes, one board of service 306 should be allocated a Pulsar as it interworks with scholars.

It was still on after 1700 tonight.

Saw it arriving into Durham carrying fresh air.

It seemed to have lost its fuel cap door/cover too, with the nozzles exposed.

1314 on service 2s (red hall - Darlington - Branksome) in place of a Eco city

1405 on X66.

MAX spare 1416 is on too.

2850 on the X1

1416 on X66

1923 on 27

I could be wrong, but I suspect 1799 is on the 1140 ex Darlington X26.

1411 on the 85

Arriva 1415 on service 24 just leaving Peterlee for Hartlepool, first time I've seen an odd working on the 24 since their became sapphire branded

Does beg the question, where where the two spare Sapphire buses at?

Probably on the 56 or something. Route branding means nowt.

Who knows, probably on the X12 in place of 1415 (again!)

Meanwhile Darlington have had a fair few non MAX and Sapphire buses out on their branded routes due to problems I imagine whilst Belmont chuck there's out on whatever they please it seems.

Also are we ever going to get 1461/1462 at Darlington? [emoji35]

In your question as to getting 1461/2 I haven't seen 2503 for a while has that transferred to Durham
Yet? 1461/2 should be here when they can get some spare drivers to go up and get them

I'm sure that 2503 was supposed to be going to Durham but I haven't seen it when I have been over that way yet.

7520 on X21/22

MAX 1415 and Sapphire 1517 on service 6.

1504 on the 2

All seven X93s through Teesside double deckers yesterday (although one got changed for a Temsa at 8pm)! And the other could well have been 7402. 7487 also out on 64/64A.

So is the 6 a Sapphire, Max or a no brand route?

It will be Sapphire come the autumn (and is MAX on a night)

So nothing at the moment then....

Haha! Don't make me laugh - it'll be allocated normal specification vehicles when it officially falls under the "Sapphire" specification, if Durham's present allocations are anything to go by.

Nothing at the moment, until the late runs which run off X12s
