(04 Aug 2015, 4:03 pm)Kuyoyo Yes, 2503 moved last week (apparently)659 was sat here when I first arrived in Durham at 1030 and stayed here until about 2pm. Not sure where it went after that.
And about time one of them was spotted out and about.

Could anyone give me any indication as to how much a single ticket would be on the X18 from Newcastle to Embleton (Just past Alnwick) for me as a 14 year old. Also does anyone have any experience with the Travelsure connections at Alnwick, will I have to pay for this journey or is it covered by an Arriva ticket?
Thanks

Thanks for that, £5.90 doesn't seem too unreasonable.
Some journeys terminate at Alnwick and the timetable says that at Alnwick passengers wishing to travel further should connect with Travelsure, I may avoid that particular journey however but would I have to pay if I changed my mind?

Ok, still not too bad really. I think I may make the return trip instead next week. The situation is that my family and I are going to stay for a week in Embleton, so I thought I might seek in a sneaky journey on the X18 on the way, however I might use the X18 at the conclusion of the holiday to get home, when my personal timings are more relaxed.

Had a ride on 7530 from Amble this morning. Very good ride, few rattles but you know what the roads are like up there. Held it at 62mph on the A1 no problem, climbed hills no problem and gear changes good too. Lets hope that Ashington can look after them and get a good 5 years (potentially 7 years) out of them.
On 1525 now about to leave Blyth (the only place with the new Arriva Northumberia timetable but only 2 33 35/35a 43 52 53 57/57a 306 308 X10/X11 X16 X20 X21/X22 and X30 presently) and it appears Arriva have also gone for the Chrome affect plug/double USB port on these refurbished Pulsars.
