RE: Arriva North East - W179 SCU - 20/09/2012 19:59

Just been reading the X1/X2 timetable. I didn't realize only certian journeys are operated by low floor vehicles! I thought it was prestiges!

Also, what normally operates on the X4/X5/X6, 5, 30, 63, 64 and 71?

Those listed journeys were those operated by Low Floor vehicles prior to the withdrawal of the Scania L113s back at the end of last year/start of this year.

X3/X4: Temsa Avenue with the occasional Pulsar and Prestige, even the odd MPD
X6: Prestige/Cadet
5: Stockton use their OmniCitys and Pulsars (normally the 3 Omnis and 1 Pulsar)
5a: Pulsar with occasional Prestige and Cadet
22/71: Anything at Redcar (Temsa, Pulsar, Prestige, Dart, MPD, OmniCity)
28/30: Prestige with the odd Cadet and MPD
63: Pulsar with occasional Prestige and Temsa (and, very rarely, OmniCity)
64/64a (64a Saturdays only): Anything at Redcar

Aright, cheers Smile - Am I likely to get a Durham Olympian on the X1/X2 (Term time ones?)

Also, thanks for that list! Seems very interesting allocations!

Durham don't have any Olympians anymore (7367 is now at Jesmond, has been for a while). Normal Durham allocations on the X1/X2 now are OmniCitys (4643-6/63/4), their Prestiges and Pulsars.

I didn't know that! - Cheers! That explains why there has been mainly Lowlanders and Pulsars on the X24 recently.

We still have 6 Palatines and 3 E types though.

Which still don't appear on the X1/X2. Well, apart from the single University Term dupe (if that runs this year of course).


RE: Arriva North East - tyresmoke - 20/09/2012 21:26

I would say watch this space as regards deckers on the X1/X2 ... could happen sooner than you think!

7367 isn't at Jesmond as far as I know?

I'm sure 7367 isn't at Jesmond since it's doing the peak time 57s to Fishburn every night.
