(21 Jun 2015, 7:54 pm)Andreos1 wrote It was after 1400 (1415ish when I hit Low Fell) when I drove back south, through Gateshead. Does that tally with 6062 arriving into Gateshead or were there others?
Didn't get to Howlands, due to being waylaid in the town unfortunately.

Derwentside College is situated in Consett with the term Derwentside being used to describe the whole area so can't quite come to the conclusion as to whether 'Derwentside' is appropriate.

Apologies. Just realised that was a bit of a Bazza sentence and i will take full responsibility if somebody almost dies because they havent paused to gasp any air

(22 Jun 2015, 3:37 pm)S813 FVK wrote I imagine it would be repainted into the corporate livery given that the logo is now out of date. Dont think a gemini would look to good in orange and pink!

There was a time when operators displayed oversize L plates, but they were (also) not legal.

It has to conform to the following:-

I only get recordings of Wright Renowns and Volvo Olympians, whenever I make a journey. Other than that, no point. Although, having said that, 4710's recording came out great yesterday.
