(01 Jan 2016, 9:43 pm)DanPicken Jimmi-There's Carlisle and North Lancashire and South Lancashire and Manchester (?).I tried to fix all the photos in the Stagecoach North West album, but I searched the registrations for the buses on Flickr and kept getting met with different things in each title on each photo, so I have no idea what I should set my titles as, particularly the ones that I have snapped in Blackpool. Can someone comment on each photo and suggest what I should refer to it as.

(01 Jan 2016, 9:55 pm)Adrian Do you not get half and end of term breaks any more like? Most of us get 5 weeks worth of leave a year, and we all manage it.
I do appreciate that expense can be an issue, but if you're flexible enough, it can still be affordable. The times that you most want to travel will probably be the same as when everyone else wants to travel. Hence tickets being at a premium for that time. Looking back at this year, I managed to get York for £31 from Newcastle, but that was first class. If I recall, it would have been about £21/£22 standard. Edinburgh was £41 including a portion of that as first class.

(01 Jan 2016, 9:58 pm)LeeCalder It's about being bothered to search for the correct fares, as it seems you may have done.
VTEC operate a 'we won't be beaten' price guarantee. I got a return to Edinburgh for the 30th of this month for just £16.90 return.

If any of you are aged 16-25, and are looking to travel by train often, why not invest in a young persons railcard?
http://www.16-25railcard.co.uk/
Costs £30 a year, or you can get a three year railcard for £70.
Hey I managed to go from Newcastle to Antwerp for a £12 return on the Megabus in 2014.
As for Notts and Derby, they only look down at heel because they're Wellglades low cost unit in the Derby area.

(01 Jan 2016, 10:08 pm)LeeCalder Yes, I see your point about Notts and Derby.
They are the cheap alternative. Kind of along the same corridor as Trent on most routes, I thing the lack of funding from their parent company (TrentBarton - Who bought out the Wellglade Group) is a deliberate thing, to try and make TB look even better.
As for YourBus, the less said about them the better. I seen one driver yesterday wearing a top hat and another a flat cap and t-shirt.

(01 Jan 2016, 7:48 pm)Jimmi I do have to admit I was intrested in lampposts when I was younger (not sure why) but I was fascinated when a bulb would go and always eager to see them be replaced. Yeah, I was a strange child, I'm still pretty strange now.Ditto.
I'm not a fan of the show, as I've made clear in the past, but even people I know who do like the show thought the film was terrible.

These have a decent set up.

(01 Jan 2016, 10:37 pm)Jimmi Watched it once and wasn't particularly keen on it, after seeing it I was in the mindest of 'I don't like it but other people will', but I went on to full on hate it once people who like the show wouldn't respect my opinions for not liking the show, some people even thought that there was seriously something wrong with me mentally because I didn't like it, they'd be right by saying there is something wrong with me mentally, but it does not really relate to my taste in TV shows.

(01 Jan 2016, 11:07 pm)BusLoverMum In any situation, calling someone's intellect or mental health into question for not enjoying a particular TV program is overkill, at best.
I can see why some people enjoy the Irish mammie aspect, but it leaves me cold.
