What sticks in my mind is someone (presumably a teacher) asking about these new mobile phone thingys and the Stagecoach employee explaining they were allowed to answer a call while driving just to say they’d call them back when they were on break!Yeah I would have been 8 at the time and the school I mentioned was Owton Manor Primary ( now Eskdale Academy). Used to watch them at the stop on Wynyard Road on a dinner time. Was really exciting the first time I seen double Deckers doing the town services as well although whenever went out on bus never seemed to get one think first time was on the 39 to Middlesbrough.
