RE: What's annoying you today? V2 - mb134 - 13 Jan 2015 (13 Jan 2015, 4:56 pm)MarcTheA4 We had a lad joined in February Year 7 - and he came up from Bradford Grammar School (private - couldn't afford it anymore. Part of me wants to put lol and I can't bring myself to it!). He learnt French, German, Spanish, Greek, Latin, Russian and Mandarin.Are you part of the year group that is the first or second to use numbers instead of letters for grades? Think it's something like 1-9 instead of A* to G? And have to do a humanity, and language. With compulsory computing instead of IT? What's annoying you today?

Think it's something like 1-9 instead of A* to G? No, we still have a number then a letter. So, for example, my latest science test (which was shit) was a 5A. And I was expected to get at least a 7A. They're starting that system soon though. RE: What's annoying you today? V2 - mb134 - 13 Jan 2015 (13 Jan 2015, 5:34 pm)MarcTheA4 No, we still have a number then a letter.Sorry probably should have worded it a bit better When you do start, which system do you use Honestly, that's not too bad, (assuming you're halfway through year 9?) if you expect a 7A, you'll get it in the end of you want it. I know it won't seem like it at first but GCSE's really aren't too bad if you have the right attitude. I knew people last year who were very clever but got distracted, and I know people who may have been in a lower set but got amazing grades RE: What's annoying you today? V2 - Tommy1581 - 13 Jan 2015 E-leather seats. My buttocks now hurt after spending an a hour on the Sapphire X21. Never hurt when ALX400s operated the route. Go North East. Angel Geminis are cold, stinking, damp pieces of horse shit. 309 takes a fucking age, next stop announcements said that I was in Cobalt for 20 minutes. Snow. It's snowing and I hate it. Hail. It was hailing and I hated it. Greggs. Thank you for the 10 minute queue. I missed loads of Blyth buses, ta. RE: What's annoying you today?

Thank god the driver was still in the stand. RE: What's annoying you today? V2 - mb134 - 13 Jan 2015 (13 Jan 2015, 5:55 pm)ArrivaNE_7522 It was a new one.Oh well maybe it's just me then I try and check behind me every time I get off the bus now, and mainly sit downstairs if its a double decker so I can see through the window when I get off in case I've left anything, as I left my phone on it a year or two ago. Edit: What time did you get the X21 today, I had to get one for part of a journey after school? What's annoying you today? V2 - R852 PRG - 13 Jan 2015 I always check I've not left anything behind.

V2 - R852 PRG - 13 Jan 2015 (13 Jan 2015, 5:59 pm)MrFozz Keep going, you'll be Victors sidekick in no time I like Jimmi too, he really ties the forum together if you ask me! RE: What's annoying you today? V2 - Adrian - 13 Jan 2015 (13 Jan 2015, 5:45 pm)ArrivaNE_7522 E-leather seats. Surprised you found the Sapphire E400s like that. The seating is essentially the same as what's in GNE's Gemini 2s, apart from a different material. I find that style of seating to be the most comfortable out there, apart from the Citaro seating. (13 Jan 2015, 5:50 pm)mb134 I'd take them over the Urban90's in the Y-reg Lowlanders and some MPD's I'd take a plastic 1ft high kids chair over the Urban90 seating in the Lowlanders. It's ridiculously uncomfortable, and I really don't know what whoever put the order in was thinking. What's annoying you today? V2 - R852 PRG - 13 Jan 2015 (13 Jan 2015, 5:45 pm)ArrivaNE_7522 E-leather seats. I literally don't know what to say to this. The Angel B5s are very comfortable, often when they're quiet they are the most peaceful journey you'll experience... They aren't even meant to go fast!? It's a stop-start route and the vehicles are designed for passenger comfort. Load of rubbish. RE: What's annoying you today?

It's ridiculously uncomfortable, and I really don't know what whoever put the order in was thinking.It's what always put me off them, fantastic buses compared to some of the stuff now, but if I needed to go somewhere that was a fair distance I'd just wait for the next bus if one of those turned up. (Obviously if there was a decent frequency, and if I was pretty sure the next bus wasn't going to be one also ) RE: What's annoying you today? V2 - mb134 - 13 Jan 2015 (13 Jan 2015, 6:07 pm)MarcTheA4 I literally don't know what to say to this.They're pretty much the same as Arriva's 308 one's aren't they? The couple of journeys I've had on those were the some of, if not the, smoothest I can remember, feels lovely gliding off with no noise What's annoying you today? V2 - R852 PRG - 13 Jan 2015 (13 Jan 2015, 6:09 pm)mb134 They're pretty much the same as Arriva's 308 one's aren't they? Fully in agreement. I must have been on the Angel B5s at least 1 thousand times (not kidding - nearly two full years of getting the bus to school and back every day)...plus I tend to use them locally on weekends, etc. They sound and feel beautiful. RE: What's annoying you today? V2 - Tommy1581 - 13 Jan 2015 mb134 - It would have been in Bedlington just before dark RE: What's annoying you today? V2 - mb134 - 13 Jan 2015 (13 Jan 2015, 6:15 pm)ArrivaNE_7522 It would have been in Bedlington just before darkDon't think I would have been near it, got into Bedlington from school about 4, getting 7501 through. Forgot the two I saw while waiting though. RE: What's annoying you today? V2 - Jimmi - 13 Jan 2015 (13 Jan 2015, 6:02 pm)aureolin Surprised you found the Sapphire E400s like that.

When them Lowlanders used to be on the 75/76 at Darlington (when they used to terminate at Newton Aycliffe, Horndale) I would always head for the back seat. If you think sitting on them Urban90s seats for about an hour is bad I once rode the X61 from Newton Aycliffe - Scarborough on 7444 once, this was a two and a half hour journey so I don't think you can imagine how much pain I was in by the time it got to Scarborough - sat at the back on the return journey. Not all Urban90s seats are that bad, the ones in the Enviro 200s that Scarlet Band have are alright, it's just Arriva's. I quite the e-leather seating, I had to ride the 7 to college with a journey time of an hour each morning and found the seats quite comfortable. I'm not sure which I prefer Arriva's e-leather seats or GNE's fabric seats (like on the B9TLs). RE: What's annoying you today? V2 - Tommy1581 - 13 Jan 2015 Actually it was a refurb, if you went upstairs I was sitting on a blue coat at the top near side seats. RE: What's annoying you today?
