Couple from Redcar today saw 1105 and 4651 on service 63... Also on there were all of the R-COO Darts but they're about normal now!

Stockton ended up with Pulsar 1512 on service 17 this afternoon, it was a nice replacement for 4006!

RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings
Oops, perhaps I got the fleet number wrong as the timing seems right - 1229 Morpeth to Kirkhill.
RE: Arriva North East - Rare and Odd Workings
4654 ended up on the nursery slopes today by appearing on service 27 this afternoon, after being kicked off the 5. It was replaced by Pulsar 1454 off the 9/27 which was replaced by Cadet 1912, whose place was filled by 4654, 3-way swap!

I think a Sapphire has only ever left the 7 a handful of times

I see, I rarely see anything other than a Sapphire on the 7 - not even a standard liveried Pulsar etc

Sure was 1520.
Stockton Prestige 4069 ended up working services 9/27A today, possibly for the final time?? Cadet 1910 started the day on service 5/5A but was soon taken off.

Why the final time?

Hopefully this one might be one to be withdrawn in the next couple of weeks once Ashington can release vehicles for cascade.

I saw 1492 yesterday on the X2 - is that rare?

The X2 runs through CLS, where I live, so I occasionally get on it. Am I right when I say the Durham boards use Gemini 2s and the Stockton boards use Pulsars? I can name the Durham Deckers but there appear to be so many Pulsars from Stockton I can't keep track.
