Really? I've never known it to happen. Other than the very front windows either side slamming when the bus is travelling at speed, which I can only assume were a design fault, seeing as the later Gemini 2s have had them windows removed.

(28 Sep 2014, 1:18 pm)Marcus So, me and my dad get the train from Durham to Newcastle and back. There, we board 91124 at 10:46, no problems.

We do our shopping.

We board the TransPennine service back, and cannot find seats 29 & 30 in Coach B. The guard is very nice about it and tells us it's fine to sit in 27 & 28. We thank him and sit down. A few moments later, this mother and child comes up to us and tells us to move because we are in her seats.

We kindly do so, but have to endure 20 mins (we departed late) of standing before we get to Durham. Where the fuck were 29 & 30?!

Sounds about right - exclusively to TPE are those folk!!

Changing the subject somewhat, I've found out today I have an infection in my big toe (caused by a slight ingrowing toenail). It's not painful unless it touches something but after soaking it twice in hot salty water and putting aloe vera and iodine spray on, it looks a right state!
Still going to work tomorrow though, sigh.

I've always thought of First TransPennine as one of those short shuttle services for mortal footy fans - disgusting trains with disgusting people. The fact that you reserve a seat and don't even get to sit in it is the absolute fucking limit!!

You should experience their Class 350/4s on the WCML - forever breaking down and causing major blockages on the mainline! Their staff are mostly alright though.

Suppose it is just the nature of the beast with TPE.

People use it for short hop, commuting and travelling huge distances - with the first two just like the metro or Northern Rail.
Whereas the likes of EC and CrossStinky cover greater distances and apart from a few exceptions, don't stop at the smaller stations like TPE do.

I've been on a TPE to Darlington once and these lasses were pouring Vodka into water bottles before the guards came around. 
Someone grassed them up but the guard didn't do owt.

I'm planning on a few days out visiting different regions on trains - trying to be a bit more adventurous with train travel. I think it's hard to call yourself a train enthusiast when you only really train spot at a station that gets a train every 2 hours in each direction and you only travel to the next station in either direction.

I know we're going to London for a night, the 4 of us, so I would assume East Coast from Durham to Kings Cross, and back.

Also known as CrossShitty...by me anyway, coming home from Glasgae the other week, I had the misfortune of travelling with them, no food trolley or owt and there was only 2 shitters in operation on the whole train, I got stuck in one and had to use the emergency handle to get out...never been so happy to pull into Newcastle Central

 Once again I've have almost being run over on a zebra crossing, this time in the McDonalds car park - after the driver parked up he gave me a look to say "what the **** are you doing walking in the road getting in my way" If I suddenly disappear from this forum for a few days presume I've been ran over.
