Probably not no, with the Sapphire E400's entering service this week there will be no need for it and it won't be worth repairing it

Meanwhile, Durham has 1310 on the 6.

Is 1209 on Service X20 rare?

They do appear quite often, but it's not officially allocated so I suppose. Rarer than a Nexus Solo on the 51 mind!

1209 on the X20 has made me a happy boy...even if it is running 10 mins late!

There's a Volvo B10BLE, MPD and Volvo B7TL on the X21 today.

Also found a quid on the floor..
Hope I get one on the X15 later too.

Will be gutted if something else pops up instead.

You should!
4513/4515 are often on though.

Exactly.

With one on the X20, slightly worrying that I may have to cope with a B10BLE instead.

5 Coaches, 4 X15 boards and at present a spare as the 100 isn't running.

7514 on X15 - so clearly one is missing while the spare is on the X20...

It's at Morpeth now heading towards Newcastle - will this end up being the 1700ish X15 from Berwick..?

Lovely. -_-

Now regret being happy about the coach turning up on the X20 earlier.

Hang on - that bus seems to be running 25 mins late approx. so it won't, it should work the 13:33 short to Alnwick.

You've just made my day. There's still a chance I'll get a coach!

Or not...!

Another E400 has just past me, which I'm guessing will be mine from Berwick. This is why coaches wouldn't work on the TTX by the way everyone - customers let down when anything besides a coach turns up, especially when we're talking about v. expensive coaches!

4660 parked up in Alnwick Bus Station - will this be the vehicle allocated to service X16?
