29-branded Pulsar 1451 made a very odd Sunday appearance on the 27/27a this afternoon, while OmniCity 4658 was out this morning working the 5b/X1 followed by 7 trips round Saltersgill on the 631/632 this afternoon.

Further Pulsars now delivered to Jesmond are NL63 VRF/J/K/N. VRF is the standard-liveried vehicle 1512.

Coach 1212 is now in training livery and is numbered 9993.

In a blast from the past today, Stockton OmniCity 4652 was used on the X1/X2 back to its original home of Durham (the particular working starts with a Middlesbrough-Durham-Middlesbrough run then does 2 full trips).

Meanwhile, Redcar (true to form) has SightSeeker Enviro400 7504 on the 64.

Pulsar 1512 arrived at Stockton depot last Wednesday but due to a problem with the destination equipment, it has yet to enter service.

The launch of 'Sapphire' on the 7 has been delayed until early December due to the Pulsars returning to Wrightbus due to certain key details of the specification missing (no plug sockets and no equipment for the WiFi).

That is very annoying to hear for everyone, do you know if they will get any money back for the buses because of the inconvenience caused?

Due to the delay with the Sapphire Pulsars, Stockton Prestige 4052 is moving back to Darlington with immediate effect to replaced 1613 having been replaced at Stockton by 1512.

In an unexpected move, Jesmond are swapping Pulsar 1409 for Durham's OmniCity 4653 for trials on the 685.

The only other move sees 7466 transferred from Blyth to Ashington as a result of Sunday's service changes.

Odd workings today saw 7477 on the X1/X2 and 7464/78 on the 56/57/57A/86 working.
