You'd be surprised how often people ask for Diet Coke usually its big people who think its healthier than Coke when it isn't really much better, no idea how anyone can drink Diet Coke its vile.

The only coke I like is Cherry Coke, though I don't mind Diet Coke, I prefer Pepsi

Coke Zero is much better than Diet Coke. I prefer Pepsi Max.

Cherry Coke is my favourite, you'll often see me coming out of Poundworld with 3 tins of Cherry Coke.

Vanilla Coke for me, it's just Unreal, mind Cherry isn't far behind, and Diet/Zero simply doesn't tickle my taste buds.

Does anybody know which stand the X7/X10 stops at going to Middlesbrough from Stockton?, connectteesvalley Stockton map dated July 2014 says stand 1 with the map not saying which stand the X7/X10 from Stockton northbound, X7 timetable says stand 17. I know theres been a right old shuffle with the bus stands.

I think the 21A mostly uses Omnicitys now.

Is it? Few months since I was down that way.
Was thinking of getting an Explorer to have a ride of the vehicles on their way across the region, may give Teesside a miss then.

Don't mention the 21A lol, last week I got a family arriva day ticket and I got the arriva 21 Peterlee to Darlington and im sure by the time the solo bus got to Darlington I had grey hairs lol. I was thinking of getting another arriva family ticket again and get the 21A from peterlee to Stockton then after a few hours shopping etc... get the X66 to Middlesbrough, then at the end of the day the only bus that I can get back would be the 21A to Peterlee and be bored stiff on that for an hour and a half lol, even though the 21A been having omnis on their rather than solos.
This is why I be getting the X7 in the morning to Stockton then later transfer onto the X7/X10 to Middlesbrough then later get on the X7/X9 to Peterlee.
Is the Arriva travelshop still at Stockton and also stagecoach timetables from the middle section of high street?

I hate the Omnicitys, I get them on service 24 in Peterlee, and everytime it goes round a corner the whole bus leans over and a clunking sound comes from the back end of the bus.

The Arriva travel shop is now on the South end of the High Street as the old one was knocked down.

I quite like the Omnicitys but they do lean when they go round a corner, I took a photo of one in Durham the other week and it looked like I took the photo whilst I was hammered.

Cheers, its been awhile since I was down Stockton. I normally call them east and west ends, is Arriva travelshop at the west end where the X7/X10 stops at going to Middlesbrough?

Saw one the other week in Consett...
The lean on it (whilst in the bus station, stationary) was unreal. I pointed it out to the lad I was with (previously a Stanley driver), and he said that they're renowned for leaning. Something to do with the air bags filling up on one side and not the other, he thought.
By the time it was on Medomsley Road at the traffic lights, it was alright - but it looked like it was going to scrape the road when departing the bus station.

Arriva Travel Shop is at the Southern End of the High Street alongside the Shambles Market Hall.
