haha sorry couldn't resist!

Andreos1 wrotecan't remember the 638 terminating at Low Fell though. Where would it have turned around? To be honest, if it had ran to Low Fell, I probably would have used it.

My favourite topic

It's quite telling how few destinations are being served now (as a terminus). I can only count Chester Le Street, Durham, Wrekenton, Kibblesworth and Middlesbrough - Which isn't many

I understand this planned park and ride will be using Angel buses if it goes ahead and not separate buses btw

Very Interesting Working, Might have to get the house early to catch these workings at somepoint, are any evening journey's operated by GNE also.

(06 Aug 2013, 3:34 pm)Daniel wrote For the 939, just one. It arrives Sunderland just after 6 if you want to work timings out for Washington.

Real Radio B7 3964 has just replaced a branded B9 (6044 off memory) on the X10. For how long before it breaks down is another matter...

I certainly can. Was it a service to link in with Kings School?
If I remember correctly, GNE got the route and extended it to run to Philadelphia depot

Yeah, as the road narrows and drops down the hill on Front Street, towards the market, crowds of people will suddenly swarm around the bus as it stops. That is your cue to get off.
