(19 Sep 2015, 10:37 am)S813 FVK Bet you look forward to passing your test? Mind, why drive all the way from Sunderland when you can rely on public transport.

That's an understatement.

As I've said before; even though I can use public transport for free, I won't look back when I can drive to work instead.

(19 Sep 2015, 10:36 am)Dan Ten times a week here - morning and afternoon on weekdays, with a bus connection. :p

Plus using it to get home on Mondays and Tuesdays
Mind the 52 to Killingworth on a Wednesday is just as bad

4019 has a fault with its doors. The rearmost door on the 'A' side opens every time it's closed for the first time.

Guess that's what happens when people hold the doors open too many times..?

Maybe this means on every other day there is bad service

Maybe each day is like an OFSTED rating.

Outstanding
Good
Unsatisfactory
Inadequate.
