However, I don't see how doing the same set of repetitive journeys across across a relatively small area can alleviate anyones sense of boredom.
Am I missing something here?
I think you're missing the post where he mentioned that he didn't have enough money to travel further afield.

That was about planning todays outing though, rather than yesterdays.

I think it might have been safe to assume insufficient funds for an explorer, that day, too.
I don't find biglugs' journeys all that scintillating but, as already mentioned, I'm sure we all do things that wouldn't interest other people.

It is your decision to decide what to read.
I sometimes find bus journeys a unique place to think, can wander off more than at home. I've often stayed on past my stop just to continue my train of thought!
When I lived in Manchester I could easily waste an hour or so going up and down Oxford Road on Magic Bus just having a ponder.
since I cant travel 2 stops then be judged im only sharing the route and fleet today

Not when I've got someone reading with me
Don't take it as an attack from me, anyhow. You might have noticed my emphasis on us all having our own reasons for doing what we do. Those reasons may be financial, personal or whatever.

If I miss my stop, I've got a steep uphill walk
I sometimes take work out to do on the bus, or a list of people I need to email, but usually, I just piddle about on t'Internet. Occasionally, I'm forced by being
around Wynyard in the middle of nowhere to do something radical, like look out of the window.

Just spent the last few minutes trying to guess your day out by the services you trvalled on. I'm guessing Sunderland, Washinton and Heworth area.

Well, if you find biglugs' journeys boring, I'm doing the X21/X22 just to charge my iPad.

My phone stayed fully charged on today's outing. Only because I forgot to unplug it and stick it in my bag before I left the house.

Oops! Me just pressing what predictive text was coming up with. Will amend that to say service 689 now.

Oh dear and there's me thinking the 685 was downgraded
