When you're 18, and you haven't crashed or killed someone, you may apply for a job at Go North East driving Volvo B9TLs and Wright StreetLites.

Haha  I'd prefer to attempt to keep a heap of misery (7501-9) on time

Haha  no worse than some other vehicles I can think of  

I decided to give Plusnet a call last week, to see if I could blag BT Sport off them for free. They said they couldn't give me BT Sport for free, but deducted my broadband package by £7.49 instead. So I'm paying the same price for what I had, but plus the BT Sport package now. I did have to say it was either that or I wanted a MAC to port my broadband away from them.

The over 18 one is it?[emoji3]

Got to drive a Centro today, 1924 to be precise, and very nice it was too! Don't get one of those two very often any more but it was a pleasure for 4 hours of 17s... Must have two of the only Centros in the country that don't rattle!

Just updated my phone to Lollipop, love it!!

Managed 3 Yellow Bus Olympian rides today (3822 and twice on 3831 on the 15A).

Having the opportunity to ride on one of Transdev Harrogate & District's yellow Olympians today - see my post on http://northeastbuses.co.uk/forum/showth...hp?tid=599

Woah!

Tempted to favourite weird things to freak out anyone who looks at my favourites.

I do sometimes have a look at what other people favourite on Flickr.

I'm not as unfit as I thought! Just made a 30 second connection from the 685 stop at the Lemington Road Ends to the 7 stop, to my relief 22042 was approaching the stop as I did!

Aside from everything seemingly going wrong around Darlington (I may be a jinx) I'm on ANEs 7620, never actually realised how good the bottom deck front seats are! Just got to make sure I avoid St James' park in any way I can!

Davie and Lee's handbags on the football thread

Honestly it was a horrendous match 

Finally found some motivation (see annoying thread) and have got a solid two and a half hours of revision done, which is a start, off for my final hour of chemistry now (split into half an hour chunks...)

Having a ride on Optare Vecta M10DVS today... Something from when I was younger, really brought back the memories! Went from Stockton via Thornaby & Acklam to Middlesbrough, very similar route to what the Vectas in the Arriva fleet used to operate! Memories
Worthy mention for Stagecarriage Olympian N703LTN too, even though it didn't really get thrashed in the journey I was on.... Only ever drove one of those, N707LTN, and only once!

Same for me as I had Vectra's on the Bishop Auckland 4/4A (later becoming the 5/5A) services when I was younger so I decided when I saw it that I had to go for a ride on that to bring back some memories.

Also rode N703NTL today which is a beast, I actually rode it last Friday on the 1720 45 from Boro to Billingham too.

Was a brilliant day out, got to ride some buses, got some photos and I even got to go on the Transporter too.

Received a FlickrMail from Skelton Coaches earlier tonight asking if I would allow them to use my photo of their Panther SC63TOY at the Transporter Bridge yesterday on their website and Facebook page.

This is the photo they want to use.

Thanks Fozz.

Was walking back to Middlesbrough Bus Station saw this coming behind me so I thought I'd take a chance at getting a photo of it with the Transporter Bridge in the background and it's turned out really well. One of the most worthwhile walks I have ever made
