Normal-ish. Previously 5s stood alone on Sundays - 5s now form part of the Middlesbrough working pattern on Sundays (and all Middlesbrough boards on Sundays are now 5x rather than 8x). Also Streetlites tend now not to be allocated on Sundays so it’s quite normal for any sort of Pulsar to be out on 5s.

4721 on Redcar X93 yesterday (Sunday!). Yet 1440 on 63s etc.

1522 (7 Branded) on 22/23/24
1481 (X12 Branded) on 48/X46

2849 on 1/5/5A/X1

1535 on 5A.

4660 on 43

63 branded Pulsar on the X4. 1440 on the X3 again. Think it's been on every day for the last week or so.

Expect that to happen a lot on Saturdays until the end of September as a Streetlite should be allocated to Moorsbus duties

2852 replaced 4657 which overheated on its first round trip on X66
4648 was replaced on X66/X67 by 1594
2866 replaced 4654 on X75/X76 due to door issues

All three mentioned Scanias all ended up working one 2 board yesterday afternoon - 4654 began the board at 1240 and managed to make in from Lingfield Point to Northgate before the door issue became too much. It was replaced by 4657 which started at Branksome and managed one and a half trips before a trip of red  overheating warnings appeared. Another Red Hall to Branksome trip missed before 4648 was put on - presumably til late last night.

Let's sum Darlington's day up today

2817, 4804, 4805 and 4808 started the day on X66/X67 (along with branded 4649) - 4805 was replaced by 4810 for the last round trip due to 4805 going into 'limp' mode

1594 on X21
'13A/13B' branded 2853 on 4
