And is now going back out on X1s.
I shall check tomorrow whether I can have some extra days off at the end of August, and if so shall come to Teesside then. The EcoCities should be in Darlington by then. I feel curious as to what will run route X66 by then, and whether the leather-seated Pulsar 2s will be on route 7 by then. If so, I would ride one halfway from Darlington towards Durham, then cut across to Bishop Auckland, Hartlepool or Middlesbrough. This is so that I can avoid seeing Volvo B5LHs on Go North East route 21 until I next go to Newcastle, probably in 2015 in conjunction with a Jet 2 Newcastle-Cork flight!

X66 is OmniCity operated Monday to Saturday until the last two trips which work off Darlington local services and are normally a Dart and a Solo. Sundays are Solo operated and interwork with the 75.
And no, the 'Sapphire' Pulsars for the 7 aren't due until October.
29-branded Pulsar 1451 has been involved in a major RTC this morning.

Presumably on-loan to Ashington. Will be a regular sight from the 24th when Blyth take over operations of the X14/33/57a.
