From late March until early May, when 1484-90 were branded for the 15, the Stockton workings were Pulsar all week (evening and Sunday X1 runs are Pulsar worked).

The fact that two garages are involved was bound to thicken the plot. My journeys should be the 8.54 or 9.35 from Gateshead to Durham, to connect with a 22 to Hartlepool. It would feel boring if both were the same vehicle type!

As my Gateshead-Newcastle journey would be to head to Carlisle for east Cumbria then home a few days later, the vehicle type would be immaterial then.

The 0854 from Gateshead is a Stockton working while the 0935 is a Durham working if what I've just worked out is correct. So, in theory, both will be different vehicle types - a Prestige on the 0854 and probably an OmniCity on the 0935.
