RE: Bus Related Outings and Reviews
Had my first experience of a nightbus earlier this morning. Was out partying in town with friends and decided to get the N56 home as it's a lot cheaper than a taxi.
We ended up on Simplicity 8328. A single from Newcastle to Wrekenton was only £3. There was more people on than I thought there was going to be mind. I would have said 15 other passengers in total. I didn't realise as well that the N56 misses out Jackson Street & the High Street in Gateshead. Went straight up High West Street. |

RE: Bus Related Outings and Reviews
Off to Edinburgh tomorrow. Plan is to get there just before 11am and grab something to eat from Greggs before going to the travelshop and getting a day ticket. Will have to go on the trams and the buses!
