Getting the 9:30 train to York, 10:40 22 to Aldebourgh, Eat there or walk to Bourghbridge, 1244 1A to Harrogate and then either the 1400 22 to Knaresbourgh or a later 1A/1B etc.
Then the 1500 23 which takes a different route to the 22 and runs once daily through to York, Arriving at 17:45 then a train home.

I Should cover the whole route over the day, On 3 different buses which I think is the PVR so I should get everything covered in the day.
Unless plans change.

The last 6 months have been torture, me and my missus have been rowing a lot lately as I have fell back into a fewnold habits and I have, by my own admission, started to push her away as I dont know how to face up to things...

Anyway, me and my girl talked last night, and it has been made clear to me that to get help I have to seek help and she is gonna help me do that, our relationship has been quite rocky, I mean it did not get off to a good start as I had to deal with my sister dying, we had officially been together for 8 days at that point.

The main problem is our individual problems, I wont say too much, but the love is there and plenty of it.

We are getting there though, we have found our own way now and we are slowly working on it

(31 May 2016, 7:02 pm)South Tyne Lad wrote It didn't! The 9:30 was on time today, Though all of the buses round Harrogate were heavily delayed today due to Severe Traffic Jams so I ended up missing my 22 from Harrogate.
So I joined Jimmi for 40 Minuetes in Harrogate before we want to Wetherby on Connexions X70 before spending another half an hour there before I went to Leeds on the 771 -
And Jimmi went back to Harrogate and onwards to Ripon.

Was still a good day though.

I have only been on the 770 or 700 in Harrogate (not sure which one) because I was there six years ago in a campervan, never been back since. I tend to do more outings closer to home for the minute though, i may surprise you that I have NEVER been to Middlesbrough or Darlingon

The Flying Scotsman units are still split however.

No 700 anymore ( or was there ever one? ) in Harrogate, Though the 770 still exists and runs nearly the same route to the 771 which I used yesterday.

I actually first went to Darlington when I was around your age, So your not alone!

(01 Jun 2016, 9:38 am)South Tyne Lad wrote On another note, Tje weather is bloody horrible and I've abandoned Spirits 406 to Swarland, Might just head out for 2 hours later to get 4924 and 5170 but I'm no rush.

Biting cold North wind, here. Has calmed down a little and at least it's not drizzly any more.

(01 Jun 2016, 7:08 pm)Adrian wrote I think you'll get the brunt of it - the same as I do! The wind hits right through the valley and absolutely batters my street. It was bad last night, but certainly not anywhere near that today.

Edit - to add insult to injury, I knocked it out in disgust with my elbow, not realising there was still some drink in it, which is now all over the floor of the bus and the bottom of my bag. (Sorry for the mess, Arriva - not entirely my fault)

(02 Jun 2016, 4:59 pm)Adrian wrote Just waiting for Jimmi's post now, to say he slipped on some red bull that someone had spilled on the floor of an Arriva bus, and then he fell on to the can. 

(02 Jun 2016, 5:09 pm)Jimmi wrote No, that hasn't happened... Yet!

Had a battle getting off the X10 in Gateshead this morning as just about everyone had their legs in the aisle upstairs. Also peak time GNE 21, very busy, went upstairs and there was some arse who refused to move from the middle of the backseat upstairs, ended up going back downstairs and had to sit at the back there which made me feel slightly embarrassed as everyone was looking at me! Only reason for getting the 21 was because I wanted a photo of the JH Coaches E200 which I shot just as you go into Barley Mow Estate, seem as the late arrival of the 68 in Wrekenton this morning prevented me from getting a shot and ride then.

They should do Bus Spotting Live and have it at cling on corner. Interviews with the usual suspects...

I'd watch it for sure.
