(24 Jan 2022, 4:59 pm)Andreos1 It deserves a mention. 194 has a couple. 777 and 294 is on there too. Couldn't see the 638 last time I looked.

Edit: https://twitter.com/ROBT180/status/14855...u-F4GmbM3g&s=19 it's on!

https://twitter.com/TWBusUser/status/148...lBVZ7mCJiA&s=19 and again!

Decided to stick a rare one in to rival the 638 for its ridiculousness.

Let's see if anyone can spot it...

Mine would have to be growing up through the Go Ahead Northern Coastine & Northumbria era. And watching both eventually change to Go North East (still branded Go Coastline until 2003/04) and Arriva Northumbria.

The early Arriva Northumbria days, the NMS livery was kept but 'ARRIVA' was often placed in the window. I remember riding one of the P4** CCU palatines when the first one was repainted into the then 'new' Arriva livery.

Funnily enough, I do also remember riding a P4** CCU Palatine still in NMS livery in early 2001 even with the then new Wayfarer ticket machines when most of the fleet was in the 'new' Arriva livery.

Anyway, I've not replied to Bush, but my favourites are split between the Barley Mow 26, 777 and of course, the 638.
Some great memories of the 231 and 194 as I got older.
For specific sections of routes, that means the top deck of the 183 and Whitehall Road plus a (very niche) late running VR going between Wrekenton and Portobello on a 725/6.
