(07 Oct 2015, 5:28 pm)S813 FVK Thats the same day i get back from Blackpool so i'll enjoy the first night back at home. From what i remember, Stanley depot is quite cold but at least it is inside unlike Riverside (although i think that the Ventures are kept outside in the back?)

Stanley area can be cold anytime of year yet alone at the end of October.  I think that is the night the clocks go back, so at least we have an extra hour to get things sorted  Wink

(07 Oct 2015, 3:31 pm)Dan 5221 was certainly fine in July, so it may have been temporarily disconnected by electricians.

Dan 5221 has had its side destination display removed all together last time I seen it but before that it was full of condensation on the glass on the inside and wasn't working

Sensible woman.

I sometimes think my long trips on t'bus with big'un might feel less long with a decent cup of coffee to sip on - I insist on one if we're going to sit in a bus station for a bit. I don't (and can't) drink more than one or two buckets cups a day, but I like it to taste good. It's easy to get really good coffee in Durham, and if there's a Pret a Manger about, I know I'm sorted, but there's parts of the region where I'm seriously struggling for anything drinkable.

Im not a fan of coffee if im honest.

Anyway, 3822 sounds like its on its last legs. More than 3814 if im honest although it still has plenty of power in it.

Just seen Toon Link 5238 in Newcastle, the destinations have been removed from above the windows but it still retains the line map on the rear.
