I have missed it, I like to think I'm not missing out with it being a lolyne

It was great. The driver thrashed it, it was a 1,000,000 times better than a Versa.

Yeah, yeah, rub it in

Ought to be in the "What's annoying you today thread."

Managed to track down Volvo B7RLE 4981 on the 97 after seeing it earlier and the driver floored it, Absouloutly Love B7s whether it being a B7TL or a B7RLE.
Though the B7RLEs do sound like kettles when moving though.

Just hoping they don't move from Riverside when the 88 transfers to Riverside so that I can have one on the 88 instead of 4962

I always seem to get 4962 on the 88, still not had 4935, 4961 is quite nice as I had it on the X88 and the driver thrashed it.

4962 is the Gutless 1 of the 4 at Washington, 4935 is lovely I can hear its ZF from up the road when its accelerating.
4963 is the best of the 52 reg ones at Washington.
What time where you on the X88 I might of seen you?

EDIT funnily enough 4962 has just passed me on the 88

I was on the 13:55 X88 from Washington Galleriesalliries, If I'd been at school this Monday the bus there would of been 4935 annoyingly, I'm sure they make sure I never get it.

I would've been in the Train station at that time.
I had 8299 for 2 days in a row in the last week of term and 4935 was allocated the board 2 buses in front for both days.

I hope Washington allocate 4935 to my school bus one day or a MPD, that would be fun.

12:35 from Regent Centre.

8289? I had that home and as it's side blind never worked I thought it was the 50 until it came around the corner.

Yes that's the one, Never rode it but always had high revs when it passed me because it had a Sticky Gearbox.
Did manage to ride the T Reg Ceatano Nimbus Bodied Dart years ago though on the 9.
