(11 May 2016, 7:46 pm)S813 FVK I had 6024 on my scholars tonight and, i must admit, it was absolutely terrible. I thought we were going to have a 3814 (albeit 3814 in the past) moment where it actually stopped on Maiden Law bank it was that slow - even struggled to accelerate from the top of the bank to the crossroads at Maiden Law and for anybody has done the 30 or whatever in the past will (or should know) that the incline between those points is not steep enough to affect the acceleration of a bus as much as it did with 6024.

Still got me from A to B though which, at the end of the day, is all i really care about to be honest.

When some of the other Presidents appeared on the X30/X31 in the past they struggled badly, especially the old london ones. I remember A couple of times thinking we would go backwards.

It happens with the 15/15A at the moment between Lanchester & Consett, some of those Presidents at Stanley are awfully slowly.

Aye I bet! You've only got 15 years to get them, so best all rush at once, so that we can have repetitive photos over flickr for the next month. Wink

I'm sick of Park Lane Interchange already! That's just from Facebook as well!

I may get some photos tomorrow but once I've got some tomorrow that will probably be it, I'm not going to be out catching them all for photographs, so long as I have a few I'm happy. Will at least try to get some photos in different locations.

Got some much more exciting stuff planned, including some former Go North East buses.
