Bus Related Outings and Reviews
(22 Sep 2021, 8:30 am)col87 Yesterday I decided to have a ride out to Hexham. I unfortunately did not have a chance to get fleet numbers or registrations and because people rang with important phone calls not much opportunity for photos either.
.....
So in total 10 buses 3 short of my record.
Stagecoach 36 (2) 2 buses
Arriva 24 X12 57 3 Buses
Go North East X6 X10 X1 X85 10 5 Buses
However I had a decent day out and did two new routes so plenty to take from it.
