I think we need a music thread dedicated towards this particular topic of dated uninspiring music...

After dealing avec le thread de français.. nous n'oublions pas les vélos!

Or maybe not since it just showed up!

It's 1601. Maybe it's the ghost of 1601. The app say it's still in shotton.

(06 Sep 2017, 2:06 pm)Jimmi Not having fun this afternoon...

Got the PCL Travel 473 from Wooler to Alnwick, decided to record the trip for my YouTube and a few stops in a old bloke gets on starts walking down the bus, he's about to sit then but then proceeds to stare at me for a solid 10 seconds, the next time we stopped he started staring at me again for much of the minute we were stopped at this stop, fortunately more people boarded after this so he couldn't really stare at me for the remainder of the journey, however he was continuing to stare at me in Alnwick Bus Station especially as I was photographing another of PCL Travel's Versa's.

Got informed that the X15 would not be running which is nice, just a pity we weren't told a minute sooner otherwise we could have got on the X18 and got back into Newcastle at 4pm, instead I've had to get the X20 and will now not get into Newcastle until 16:30, an hour later than originally planned, attempted to shave 15 minutes off by getting the 15 over to Rothbury/Thropton then X14 to Newcastle but the Solo came in on the 15 making unhealthy noises and sure enough was pulled from service.

(06 Sep 2017, 6:30 pm)Cobalt271 The Solo was still there just before 5pm so I assume they've failed to get it going. PCL's reputation precedes them again!

(06 Sep 2017, 7:52 pm)Jimmi When the Solo broke, the driver and Versa off the 470 came into Alnwick Bus Station a few minutes later, driver of the Versa got in the Solo, basically concluded it was broken and disappeared off in the Versa back to wherever he was hiding, this left the passengers intending to catch the 15 to either get a taxi or take a long trip back to Rothbury/Thropton via Morpeth to get home, judging by some of the reactions from the passengers when it became apparent that they weren't getting a 15 home, this is nothing out of the ordinary, quite worrying that the passengers were asking if there would be a bus for tomorrow. I honestly thought they could have used the Versa to at least cover that trip to Thropton then Rothbury as the 15 then dead back to Alnwick in time to do the next 470 trip but I dare bet the 15 didn't run for the remainder of the day. That Solo is awful even at the best of times.
