12070 was on X63 on Friday. Two hybrid X63's I've now travelled on recently.

22215 covering for a DDA-compliant example on the 12.

There's a Fancy a Splash Enviro on X34s today

39729 on 4s.

Electric Hybrid 12076 was on the 12 this afternoon.

(01 Sep 2014, 3:37 pm)AIG20 wrote That might be 27739. Because when I seen it this morning at Harton Nook, with an engineer at the wheel, it was heading in the direction of the Marsden Inn/Horsley Hill where it could have most likely replaced an E400 operating the X34.

I think its more suitable to have ADL E300s on the X34 rather than a spare MAN ALX300 as they are more suitable, and will travel faster, on the motorway/dual carriageway sections of the route.

27739 parked at bottom stop on Pilgrim Street just after coming off Tyne Bridge in Newcastle at 17:35 today, suggesting that it was going to work the 17:50 X34 from Newcastle.

37143 joined 22050 on the E1/E2/E6 today

22462 on 22. When did that start working for Walkergate

That isn't odd. Hybrids regularly use service 12

22067 was on the X34 today covering for an E400

39711 was on ''E'' services today whilst 27731 was on 3/4/7/8 cycle

Dart on the 23, first time iv'e seen one on the 23 for a while!

(02 Sep 2014, 6:21 pm)AIG20 wrote The Pointer Dart was 35156. I was surprised to see it on there as well.

Thanks, wasn't sure of its fleet number, it flew past my house

(02 Sep 2014, 6:32 pm)AIG20 wrote I think it's covering for 19196, which was at the rear of Sunderland Depot when I went past at 17:20. I assume that it is either there for a chassis wash or repaint.

Even though it has been repainted recently I believe it is being painted against. I don't know why though.

17032 on 35

36 branded 24106 on service 13 - which might suggest this one is next for the paint shop?

Yesterday saw 16834 in use covering mileage including a 61 which is pretty rare territory for an Olympian... 24109 was on svc 12 too

22081 on the 20

22036 on 62/63.

12074 on 62. That's the third hybrid I've seen on 62/X63 recently. I hope they use them regularly

19196 is still out as I saw 19194/97 today and got 22070 which was covering for 19196

22027 on 62. It gets to the stage where having that on a 62/63 stops being a rare/odd working. Two single Dockers in two days. I've been on them both

Nk56 ffh was on the 30 and nk11 djo I think djo was on the the 31 I might be wrong as it was a quick glans

37143 on X34. 19434 on 40 (I wonder if they'll put a hybrid on the 1 to return the favour)

Also 19157 on 11 counts as odd because I saw another single Decker 62 earlier

(05 Sep 2014, 8:09 pm)AIG20 wrote 37143 was operating on the 3/4/7/8 circuit this morning as I seen it at Harton Nook. I guess it was used to help put one of the X34 workings back on time as the service was suffering delays of up to 15 minutes according to the SNE twitter page.

19194 came into harton nook heading towards Marsden at 15:35 displaying in sorry not in service instead of 15:15 so 37143 was put on then 19194 came and done the 15:45 from harton nook which replaced another bus was running late on

37143 operated the 15:15 X34 from Harton Nook which was supposed to 19194. 22050 was supposed to operate the 15:45 but due to that being late, 19194 was put on to correct the operating time. These times are crew change times which is why buses get moved around if possible when running late. 19197 was supposed to be the 14:45 and 16:15 but was very late for both and subsequently operated the 17:20 from Newcastle approximately 25 minutes late (only bus not to be time corrected)

35194 is today's X34 offering

(06 Sep 2014, 12:02 pm)AIG20 wrote I'd feel like a sardine tightly packed in a tin can on that bus!

Was like a sardine as I had a journey on it and was jam packed

22050 also on x34

Unidentified E300 on x34

I operated 2 trips with the X34 as 19197 was running late so I chose to get the service back on time. It didn't last long though with all the traffic ect
