Also on the X66 was 1646. OmniCity 4661 was on the 27/27a.
Just been informed that MPD 1711 has replaced Pulsar 1443 on the 9.

Definitely a rumour.
The X1 is expected to have a timetable change in July, thats about it.
Prestige 4002 was on the X93 today, so it appears that has been fitted with a tachograph.
Cadet 1913 was used on a 21a.
4026 was on the X93 too, 2828 was on X66, 4664 was on durhams 6's
OmniCity 4661 was on the 27 today.
I made it to Cleveland last weekend as planned. In a change of plan, I travelled to/from Darlington, thus was able to ride an EcoCity there, and concentrated entirely on this area. I have thus postponed my DalesBus Richmond-Lancaster ride, probably until next year to coincide with Sapphire Pulsar 2s on route 7. Anyway, my itins were as follows:
Saturday:
11 Red Lane and back - EcoCity 4810
X66 Stockton - Scania OmniCity 4659
17a Middlesbrough - Cadet 1906
5 Guisborough - leather-seated Scania OmniCity 4662 (Hoorah!)
81 Redcar - Scania OmniCity 4655
X4 Middlesbrough - Temsa Avanue 4716
63 Premier Inn, Marton Way - Pulsar 2 1434
Sunday:
63 Redcar - Pulsar 2 1434 (It didn't park at the Hotel overnight!)
4a Saltburn - Temsa Avenue 4706
22a Middlesbrough - Pulsar 2 1430
X10 Peterlee - to be highlighted on the Go North East thread
21 Darlington - Solo 2864
It is intriguing that routes 4a and 22a not served by Arriva buses on Mon-Sat. I think route 21 might use larger buses on Mon-Sat does it? If so, this will have been another Sunday-only operation! I was surprised that there appeared to be no OmniCities out in Middlesbrough but there were some older Prestiges out.

The 4a is a Sunday-only version of the 4 but serving Ings Farm and New Marske instead of the Coast Road and Marske which instead are served by the 22a, the Sunday version of the 22 which also covers the route of the X4 between Redcar and Easington. The 21 is Solo worked all week. As for OmniCitys on Sundays in Midldlesbrough, it's unusual to see Stockton's trio out but Whitby's examples normally turn up on their 5 workings. As for Prestiges, certainly odd for them to be out on a Sunday but not totally unheard of.
