Redcar working this time - finished on the 1805 short run to Saltburn.
RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings
Just need to see 1438 and that's the hatrick Full official Whitby allocation on the X4! 1638 and 1105 on 63's, 7494 on the 81 just, with squealing brakes! Get that all the way to Scarborough!

1651. X3/X3A had one Dart, one Pulsar, one Prestige, one Temsa and one Omnicity!!

4080 was taken off 63s yesterday.
7494 was on 81s then 64s.
7513 broke down in bus station, replaced by 4718 ex 64s, making 3 Temsas on X93s.
RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings
The saga goes on? Thought 7513 was running well? Regarding 7494 and the others (at Redcar) should stay on the 81's and 64's or go back south! Seens that why they wanted rid.

7484/5 were both in the depot. One was having the rear upstairs window pushed out so dont know what had happened to that!

1600 from M'bro is a Whitby working. It must have ended up at Whitby as it was on a Whitby X4 again Tuesday, the one which ends up at Redcar. On 63s today.

The bus that works the 1600 from Middlesbrough works the 1802 from Whitby to Middlesbrough (the last full length working). I would think that is more than likely the board that starts from Whitby depot and finishes at Redcar depot, otherwise you have a lot of light running mileage there.

Sure does so I can only assume it got sent to Whitby on the night in exchange for another one? They do swap vehicles quite regularly overnight.

Darlington based Pulsars getting to be regulars on the X66? 1511 on today. Does this mean we're losing the Ommis on this route and yet another change?
