(28 Jun 2014, 10:09 am)Dan wrote I don't think there are any other plans for 9131, so it will simply move on from GNE.

(28 Jun 2014, 10:56 am)Dan wrote One which is due into Bishop at 1327 (so should be leaving Newcastle in 9 mins).

(28 Jun 2014, 11:08 am)Tom wrote So 1505 from Newcastle?

(28 Jun 2014, 11:10 am)Dan wrote Would imagine so.
Will tell you if it gets replaced though. If it is running late it may be pushed back onto the next departure.

Got on at Chester at 12:35 to Durham. Got to Chester Moor - and some clown thought it would be funny if he swerved across from the right lane and straight in front of us to get to the housing estate. Driver slammed on the brakes, I banged my head off the window in the resulting stop - and as the car drove out of sight the driver of 9131 blared his horn. The screams upstairs though - dear god! I'll never forget that - hat's off to the driver though.

(28 Jun 2014, 2:57 pm)marxistafozzski wrote Idiots like you one you encountered should not be on the road, there are some morons out there...

And if that is what I think it is, then people like that need to be caught and dealt with fast before someone's life is put in grave danger...If it was crash for cash, the last people I would be a bus, they probably have more CCTV than a small town

I would hope GNE push this and have the person spoke to with some very harsh and straight to the point words

I remember back In the day when carrier bags there at one time cost more than a tin of beans

(28 Jun 2014, 3:42 pm)Adam wrote I love the budget supermarkets. I quite often pop into the Lidl at Wrekenton for a few bits and bobs. It's great if you're a student and don't have a lot of money

(28 Jun 2014, 3:54 pm)Jimmi wrote Lidl is like going into a Spanish supermarket, as you walk down the aisles and see all the tinned foods from brands you've never heard of.

When it was Greek Independence Day, I thought I'd celebrate my sixteenth Greekness by making a Lidl Greek salad. Got some olives and feta cheese and the packaging was mainly written in Greek.
