Wonder where that shift ended up...

It's whatever is available at the time, there's been MAX vehicles, the 16xx series Darts, Sapphire E400s, and about every type of bus has been used on the AN20.

Short workings are booked for MPDs as they interwork with 33 and 57a - meant to be taken from Bltyh's 1773/4/5 on their 2 workings and Ashington's 1792/1800/1 on their 2 turns.

A Max decker on the 308 while a hybrid was on the X4....they were following each other through Seaton Sluice so would have been at Blyth together so wonder why the hybrid was not put on the 308.

Also, a 306 streetlite was on 53 heading through New York arounf 4pm.

1440 adding a touch of sparkle to the 81 now. It replaced 4507 at Redcar bus station on the 1358 to Guisborough and joins 4720 already on there.

It was 1595 (the spare) which was used as 2817 developed a fault with the speedo this morning.

There's also two Pulsars on the 56/57/57A again today.

4658 will be the Framwellgate Moor X12 which runs onto 21As so a booked working.

Plenty of time - doesn't start on 21As until 0921 from Sedgefield and they've got plenty of sit time there before it starts anyway.

EDIT: looking at the live map, every X12 towards Durham is running late - peak time traffic issues likely as the A66 is back up to past the Elton/Hartburn junction heading into Middlesbrough.
