(04 Mar 2015, 4:32 pm)MarcTheA4 I must admit, when looking back at my first posts on here - I do think...'what was I thinking??'...
Is it really your first posts though, or the more recent ones relating to 4852?
RE: Bus Related Outings and Reviews - Jimmi - 04 Mar 2015
Randomly jumping from topics like Hexham to Jaffa Cakes can make me I've gone totally mad and often think I'm misreading this forum.
Always seems to stem towards food as well.

(04 Mar 2015, 4:44 pm)Adam Speaking of Jaffa Cakes, I took up Michael's recommendation of getting Lidl's when I popped in earlier. They are actually quite nice, but they're not 89p like Michael said, unless I've picked up the wrong ones...
Oh no, don't tell me they've cost the entirety of your student loan??

Perhaps the thread should be called "The hairy bus spotters"

I was slaving away all afternoon! Shattered now - divvint knar whether it was that "fresh" Chester-le-Street air or if it was the grafting!

You're not - you would have had to see a Lime with various parts missing and donated to other Volvo B10BLEs!

(04 Mar 2015, 12:15 pm)Tommy_1581 I do, Davie said something about Durham being a shithole...I once saw a lass in Murton at the bus stop on Wood Terrace with a duck, that was being taking for a walk on real small collar and dog lead
Newcastle was more of a shithole when we met, like, I seen a clown walking through the car park towards the metro, then a "mini march" over the bridge, then a hen party alighting off a CrossStinky train...
Thought I had been smoking the old rastafarian woodbines as I thought I was seeing things
RE: Bus Related Outings and Reviews - Michael - 04 Mar 2015
Did u get these ones?

He must have got mixed up with Iceland. Everything in that bloody place is 89p!

Had a great day out in West Yorkshire today - great value with the Family WY Dayrover just £11.70 for 2 (or more) people across the whole WY area on bus and train (not valid on train between 1601-1829 now!).
Went to have a look at our Tiger brands in operation and see how the transformation is coming on. Have to say I was very impressed with how it is going. Few tired (that's an understatement!) R/S-reg Solos around the Halifax operation but they are due for replacement very soon with new Solos sighted at Optare...

RE: Bus Related Outings and Reviews - R852 PRG - 05 Mar 2015
Just thinking, with my planned Explorer on Saturday - does the Explorer give me platform access to Newcastle Central? As in, through the ticket barriers and full-access. I have an inkling I will be able to, seeing as I can use it on the Sunderland-Blaydon Line, but I just thought to check.
Might try and get a few photos of the 91s and 43s in their new liveries.
