Hello everybody i am new to Northeast Buses and id just like to say hello to everyone!!
I look at everyone's photos on flickr and regularly read the news on here every 2 weeks.

Talking about rare workings, just in the school holidays I had 5359 on the 88 it was a very smooth ride,
.... Very different to the Versas, Solars and Cadets and Merits I normally have Tongue

Sorry I didn't get a photograph of it.
Also just seen 8252 still in service today,probably the only 52 Reg cadet still at Washington.

105 posts in two days, most of it nothing constructive at all.
I suggest you need to tone down the silliness and think about what you are posting.
Other than that, welcome to the forum!

Hello i'm to new to neb forums.
Hi

I'm a long time lurker but a new contributor.

I'm a 30 something office based enthusiast. Used to collect models and other stuff in my youth but kinda grew out of it.

I'd probably call myself an informed passengers as opposed to a full on enthusiast, I'm not great with engines etc and I long for the days of Metrobuses and a proper Northern livery. I even miss Marshall Darts.

You can normally find me shuttling up and down the Durham Road towards Newcastle. I currently work in the office of a well known purveyor of pasties
Hi everyone,

I'm new to this forum but know a couple of people on here.

I'm from the West Midlands but love exploring places and learning about public transport all across the country...

I've been interested in buses since I was about 11, now I'm 18. I've been working casually at The Green Bus, an operator local to me, for over 3 years since I was 15. I do all sorts, from piloting buses, to admin stuff, to running control by myself...all this has taught me so much about how a bus company is run.

Yesterday I made my first trip to the northeast and loved it! The variety of buses you have up here is awesome, but I didn't have anywhere near enough time to do everything I wanted, although on the plus side I met an existing friend and made a new one. Hopefully I will be back in the northeast soon...

Thanks for reading and feel free to message me Smile

Matt.

You already know who I am so I won't explain haha


And, it's not a boat it's a ferry, and it's not a tram it's a Metrocar.  Tongue

Like South Tyne Lad said, it was mainly a tour of the Tyne and Wear area. I caught the Metro up to Whitley Bay, then the 309 back into Newcastle. I then got the 21 to Durham where I met Tommy and South Tyne Lad. We then caught the 21 to Gateshead, where Tommy and I changed onto the Metro to South Shields as I wanted to go on the ferry! Then met up with South Tyne Lad again at North Shields, and caught the Metro to South Gosforth, then to the Airport. Then Tommy and I caught the Metro to Sunderland, then went back to Newcastle on a Pacer (love these!). After that it was time to call it a day as I was knackered... I left home at 05:01 and got back at 23:39, but had an amazing day Smile
