I went to Newcastle the other day, I was sat in my usual spot trying to get some work done on the laptop. Some old man got on and sat opposite me. The entire time he kept looking at me, looking at my laptop and tutting!

(29 Jul 2023, 8:37 pm)Unber43 Well Barbie is an option, not sure if we are going to do Oppenheimer, Mission Impossible and Barbie depending on timings. 

Do you get much done I would always be nervous of people looking over my shoulder staring at what i'm doing

(29 Jul 2023, 9:22 pm)streetdeckfan I generally don't care if people see what I'm doing as I don't do anything particularly sensitive when I'm out and about, unless I'm sitting up against a wall.

Besides, on the 14" screen of my travel laptop things are barely legible even for me at the scale I have to look at spreadsheets, so unless they have binoculars I'm not really too concerned!

The documents I write will usually be made public so at worst they'll get an early peek.

My main issue is that because of the absolutely stupid decision to put a wireless charger in the middle of the table on the Streetdecks, even a 14" laptop doesn't sit flush and ends up rocking.

(30 Jul 2023, 4:04 pm)Malarkey The latest issue of Buses Magazine Fleet News states that the following are also joining the Go North East Fleet however seems as though they are going to Go North West instead:

WVL360 - LX60 DWL - In BEE Network Livery for Go North West
WVL364 - LX60 DWP
WVL440 - LJ61 GWZ
WVL441 - LJ61 GXA
WVL442 - LJ61 GXB
WVL443 - LJ61 GXC
WVL444 - LJ61 GXD - In BEE Network Livery for Go North West

I would hazard a guess that plans changed and all of the above will be for Go North West for the BEE Network and we'll wait and see what happens with the below ADL E400's. 

E187 - SN61 BJE
E188 - SN61 BJF

I'm sure this is meant to be reinstated.
