One or two of the Scarlet Bands services, one on the 64, and one on the P&R for the Lumiere event last year is all I can name!

I ridden loads of Solos over about the last five years.

I often rode the Scarlet Band 55 reg examples previously used Durham Park & Ride on service 16 when it still ran to Newton Aycliffe hourly instead of peak times only. Some of the nicest Solos I've ever ridden.

I don't mind Arriva's so much, although I'm glad they are off the 21 as they were deafening down the A689, most of my Arriva Solo frustration is from them being on routes where a bigger bus is needed.

Yeah I've been on loads of Solos - They are on the 17 every Sunday, and I usually get them on the 46, 55 and 335.

Might have to try and get on one or two over the holidays!

Either Newcastle (46, 55, Nexus Buses etc.) or Darlington is your best bet.

The 56/57/57A from Durham is also a good bet, or you may get lucky and get a double decker run.

Other suggestion for Solo SRs would be GNE Venture services, you could possibly get the V8 from Stanley to Consett.

Been on a fair few Solo SRs on the V8. Smile

I might try and squeeze a Durham day into my plans.

The Solos are pretty much guaranteed on the 46, so you could get on to Regent Centre, and a Sapphire back as you said you wanted to ride a Sapphire?
RE: Whats made you happy today?
How about a quick shufty to the Galleries on an evening? ANE 82/83 to Birtley and a 21/78 home?

No Metrocentre though...

Fingers crossed Gateshead sort out their performances before then. Should be a good day out.

My best friend Rhys came to find me in the library revising for the science test later in the day just before tutor.

Brought me a Christmas present in the form of a military box with a watch, writing equipment and a torch. Made my day!

I've got him 2 Minecraft books (he's obsessed! Tongue) and already given him his card. Big Grin

Reason for Hull was because they performed well at the time and the stadium club shop is like a tardis lovely staff too my mates 2nd team is Blackpool but Hull however has nice colours nice ground although sol is much better in capacity terms but some of my mates has 2nd teams my mate Paul said his was Arsenal my mate Michael said Blackpool my mate Chris said Manchester City but In the end worse ground on the country is either Gillinghams or Fulhams too small roker park was a classic been there twice once when it was snowing and the other on a hot day that was around 1995 or 1997 as I remember my Granda was still with us

Have not been to many grounds myself...

My worst was Accrington Stanley and York, though I like Bootham Crescent for some reason and enjoyed the grounds I have seen Darlo play at recently

I'm full of cold, so I didn't go in today. Sad - although I must say I wasn't going to miss much!

When I was in Years 7 & 8, we were on the lower site, and the head there used to let us have the Friday afternoon just sitting in our tutor rooms doing quizzes and stuff. How many times I remember going down from our tutor room (it was the music room - so we had the biggest room in the building! Big Grin) to the teachers corridor to hand in our answers!

Now that I'm on the upper site - the head up here isn't as nice. He said 'work them till the very end', according to the Head of RE!
