Might have looked better with L plates either side of the text, therefore not needing to 'fill' the screen as much?
Unless there's some regulation over where L-plates can be displayed?

Well, it reads 36A in that section of the map rather than 36. A silly mistake, eh?

Bit weird that that's the only part to say 36A.

I thought it might get painted like the eclipse you showed us

Is there a 36A?

Its a Vinyl not paint on the Eclipse and the 36A was withdrawn a few years ago now.

Didn't think there was, don't do much in Sunderland so I might ask some daft questions, I know much more about Newcastle and Northumberland

There was a 'fad' some time ago to plaster L-plates of various sizes over the front of the training vehicles, but it was pointed out that only the regulation-sized L plate is legal so that's how it is now.
Well, I grasped the nettle and took a ride on the AD122 today.
Just two hours from Hexham to Haltwhistle and return via Greenhead.
Smashing scenery - even on a dull day like today.
The plan was to use today as a reccie and do a proper photography trip tomorrow, but it isn't possible to do justice with a camera what the eye can see.
I sincerely hope that the AD122 will continue next year - there seemed to be so many (small numbers) of users who either relied on the service as well as several who were so thankful when they discovered that there WAS a bus and they didn't have to continue walking.
Some pax were 'walking the Wall' whilst others were wanting to return to their lodgings having walked further than they had intended, and one group with a 'wounded' member (Achilles tendon) that stood no chance of reaching their overnight stop.
It was well worth the trip just to chat with the walkers.
One couple had flown into Ncl this morning from the Netherlands and were just starting their planned Roman Wall holiday - they are now facing a week without the bus (apart from tomorrow).
Good luck to them!

I find this quite offensive. Go North East have chosen a very good photo to promote their service.
Your comments are very childish, I find it rather ironic you have before told people to 'grow up'.

yourself real and get your head out from up your arse.

Why do you want QCS?, no doubt you'll be one of the first to moan, if massive cuts etc happen....

I was wondering about this chap. Such a terribly rude post, whether he personally likes the photo or not.
I'd love to know how he could have photographed it better.

Hopefully the passenger is alright.
Will 557/561 be repainted in to "Go North East" once they are debranded?, as the AD122 finshes today.
