I went for the 520 today and it was running 43 seconds late. The driver was too friendly and was delaying the service by saying hello to every pensioner who got on. I think he was after their bingo winnings.
Nah in all seriousness, I photoed the 520 today, the vehicle looks smart and Lee looked as if he was enjoying himself, though that might be that his sanity might have departed as at the time of photoing, he would have already done 11 round trips or so between Houghton and Fencehouses.

Disgraceful. Call Nexus, call the Police, call in the SAS!

When the 59 ran on a Sunday, the driver of that always looked like he was having a jolly good time. I think some genuinely enjoy a route where you get to know all the regulars and don't routinely have to deal with the likes of the two obvious 30 somethings who got all arsey when the driver asked for ID when they wanted under 21 tickets on the X21 we were on, last week.

I do love the Northstar livery, it seems to suit whatever bus it is applied to
