(09 Jan 2017, 5:58 pm)S813 FVK I was happy to see one - the new bus smell drifted out of the bus when it pulled into the stop this morning. I'd have much preferred to have got on that instead of 6032.
I have also decided that I hate the 16/16A timetable - since i finish early on a Tuesday, i was going to get the 15 up to Consett and get the 16 from there to South Stanley. It, however, departs just minutes earlier than the 15s arrival. I would have liked to have had a ride on one but nevermind.
Connections are a bit tight but achievable, but you could get the 15 to Ledgate then catch the 16 from there heading in either direction.
Should have seen me trying to work out where 5443 was, in the end I decided to catch the 11:00 15 to Consett, got off in Ledgate to discover spare Citaro and 6011 on 16's, so jumped on 6011 to Consett. Was going to wait for the 12:04 departure for Durham but having got a reporting that 5442 was on the way to Stanley on the 16A, I jumped on the 78 instead but sadly 5442 got removed just before I got there but thankfully 5443 was on the board I thought it was on. Working out was tricky because when I saw your post it said 1 hour ago which was not so helpful.
