(01 Feb 2016, 2:05 pm)Charles41 I was quite looking forward to the trip. On the day it did not meet my expectations. It may have been because I'd been working long hours and was tired but here's my list of issues:

*Organisation was lacking. Some people just seemed to disappear after the Metrocentre
*We did not visit Rowells or Primrose. When I asked about the Primrose yard in Acomb, I was told it was locked up. Likewise no mention was made of Rowell's Prudhoe yard.
*Some guy nearly got left behind twice. It was a tour not a taxi service.
*The Metrocentre break was ill-advised. I believe time could have been better spent travelling direct from Coopers to Acomb via Morpeth and Scots Gap with a lunch break in the middle rather than going back to Newcastle.
*Quite frankly many of the people from Yorkshire were bloody scruffy and unkempt to put it mildly. I was ashamed to be associated with them.

I'm just going to stick to my own trips from on.

A disappointed...Charles

(02 Feb 2016, 6:10 pm)Davie I'm always here if you need anything.
I think what he meant to say was he got annoyed for getting told off for going into the bus station.

(02 Feb 2016, 6:12 pm)Diamond One Hadn't even taken a single photo in there today I only took 1 that was beside St Peters Metro while waiting for Paul

Did you have your camera with you?

(02 Feb 2016, 6:17 pm)Diamond One Yes

(31 Jan 2016, 1:27 am)GMitchelhill Had a feeling it wouldn't go well with this tour.

I refused to do anymore bus tours with this organiser as a few years ago he set up a decoy page to poach people (and sabotage) another tour organised by a rival enthusiast. I was actually planning on attending this rivals tour because it was using ex GNE Olympians and double checking the details I noticed the tour I was going on went missing from the page, turn out the set up similar blog page to misguide people to his tour.

As for the person turning up late each time. They didn't have a dog by chance and a Newcastle United hat on.

(02 Feb 2016, 7:05 pm)Davie Maybe he assumed you were photographing buses.

(02 Feb 2016, 10:59 pm)Diamond One I wasn't even planning on taking photos at that time needed to save juice on batteries for Manchester City players in fact if he says do not take photos there am gonna completely ignore him and I'll tell ya another fact he once was horrible to a lad who was deaf I witnessed once at Gateshead interchange 3 years ago just proves what david is really like
