Volvo Olympian-NC II 7412 (route X21)
DAF-ALX400 7460 (45)
Enviro 400s 7507 (501) and 7510 (518)
Gemini Integral 7621 (308)
DAF-Prestiges 4001 (X2), 4072 (7a)
Volvo B10BLE-ALX300 4516 (306)
Scania OmniCities 4645, 4647, 4656 (all X2)
Pulsar 2s 1466 (22), 1480 (35)
Dart SLF-Pointer 1765 (2) and 1302 (75/ 76)
Solo 2868 (10)

Perhaps the most interesting OmniCity was 4645, as it had been refurbished. I have the feeling it is ex-Merseyside. An inspector at Haymarket Bus Station did warn me that several changes were due on September 16th. Some of these are already highlighted here.

Indeed, 4643-5 are the ex-North West trio, 4643/5 have been refurbished while 4644 hasn't.
Your trip on 4001 on the X2 is one you should be glad you made, Stockton will no longer be operating the X2 from the 16th September as that becomes a Durham-only route seperate to the X1.
