(06 Dec 2019, 11:08 pm)Ds1197 Think the 27 got deckers and ran in 2s the last time a strike happened

When they striked in 2010/2011, the 27 and 56 ran every 5 minutes, with Winlaton depot providing the extras on the 27.

4 episodes, 30 minutes each and probably be about 22 minutes long per episode with the adverts taking out, should of been more episodes

Did anybody watch the first part of the documentary last night? You didnt miss much, if you didn't...

All the focus was on one particular night - the Spice Girls gig at the dark place.

Hopefully the other three episodes are more representative of the Metro system we see day in and day out, not just the fluffy bits that Huw Lewis wants us to see.

I did and it offered little to no real insight whatsoever, was 23 minutes of watching people travelling to/from the Spice Girls

Next week will seemingly just be 23 minutes of angry Newcastle fans

Was hopeful it would be more like the stuff Channel 5 have made like On the Yorkshire Buses which focused on EYMS and Paddington Station 24/7 but it's ITV so comes across as cheap filler tosh.

I just missed it but evidently didn't miss much. 

Did catch Kirsty and Phil in Cullercoats, tonight, though.

The only good thing to come out of ITV recently has been Vera, and that's only because they filmed on my old street! (and I do love a good murder mystery)

I recently rewatched On the Yorkshire Buses as I realised the other night it's now available on Amazon Prime!

The irony being, that the EU procurement legislation they followed (https://ec.europa.eu/info/policies/publi...-buyers_en), is supposed to assist taxpayers within member states.

Stadler are based in Switzerland (not in eu last time I checked) and there will be an impact on taxpayers within the areas affected by possible job losses at Hitachi and others who were involved in the tendering process and have sites within the EU...

I wonder if the headline could be 'EU legislation means that work goes out of the EU and EU members and their states suffer as a result of EU legislation'?
