On the subject about slogans...

With the new buses including e-leather seating and extra features....
Get Connected in style - Simply Go North East

Or a one that is catchy, and is already used by GNE

Get up and go with Go North East

No - Marcus and I were travelling from Stanley to Lanchester on the X31 earlier today and we were joined by a young boy and girl at the front of the upper saloon. They were very talkative, and the young boy (no more than 10 years old) informed Marcus of how he was going on a school trip after the school holidays and how his teacher had given the class such short notice. He was appreciative of how cheap the trip was, however. The boy explained how the trip was to a farm, and how they would get to sit in a tractor. Marcus pointed out that a blue tractor was actually in front of us, and that's why we were travelling so slowly. All of a sudden, the young girl exclaimed, "You leave blue alone!" in a threatening tone, as if the tractor would be offended by Marcus pointing out that it was in front of our bus.

It was a rather unusual situation, but a funny one nevertheless.

Further to the above, I should add that my happy post for today should relate to the fact Marcus didn't ignore me when he saw me at Durham!

In fact, it was quite the opposite. I didn't recognise him, so I had assumed it was just a lad on the 21 sticking his thumb up to take the mick as I had my camera out, which meant I completely ignored the lad. It turned out to be Marcus, who revealed himself a few minutes later when I was on North Road roundabout taking photos!

An explorer trip that I did a while ago. Big Grin

After alighting the train at Newcastle, I went to catch a bus back to MetroCentre, not knowing the stands, I hopped on the number 10, I misread the number 10 as '100' just thinking that an E400 had been allocated to the 100.

I soon realised my mistake as my bus appeared to cross the A1, towards West Denton... not the MetroCentre. Big Grin

That makes me laugh every time I remember it Big Grin

We've all done it! I got distracted by a Versa on the 68 in St Annes, and ended up on my way to Preston rather than Blackpool as intended Tongue

Another highlight from today, whilst Dan and I were at Jesmond taking photos - Dan kept his cool while trying to inform two young ladies on good places to eat, to be asked the question (in regards to me) - ''does ya friend owa there have a bus fetish or something?''...while I took photos of Streetlites and an E400 in Jesmond.
