Noticed a Pulsar 'abandoned' at Bradbury yesterday evening.
No sign of a driver. No passengers onboard.
Didn't get the id unfortunately.

If it was in the bus stop near the petrol station the chances are the driver was in the shop getting food / drinks - some drivers have break there rather than drive back to Stockton on X22 back shift

Aye, it was next to the petrol station actually.
How does that shift work?

I’m sure it used to be an X22 that used to get ~2 hour break in Sedgefield as provision was made for them to go ‘home’ to Middlesbrough for their break and then go back but now it appears to be a 15 that finishes at Roseworth at 1904 and runs light to Sedgefield for 2055 to Peterlee, back to Sedgefield and last one to Wingate to finish.

Wonder if it's certain drivers who do it, as I can't remember seeing anything parked there on a regular basis.

Likely will be, I assume the official break point will be Stockton itself, but drivers will probably choose their own point to have their break. Plenty of choice up there to be fair you’ve got Sedgefield itself, Tesco, Wolviston services, Bradbury all possible choices!
