I'm alright, thanks. 

I'll be on the 1030 shuttle from Durham... Providing the 7 gets there on-time thanks to Aycliffe 10k Road closures and them horrendous temporary traffic lights at The Honest Lawyer.

You can join me on the 10:37 50 from Chester if you like Marcus, beats getting on the 21 with Dumb, Dumber, Dumberer & Dumbest  .

What are you trying to say Malarkey?

Is that a rhetorical question Davie, or do actually want me to give you an answer?

Rhetoric

So in answer to the question I was implying you and your cronies are "dumb".

I'll be heading there in the car, I'll get dropped at the Howlands site for 10:00, then again at the North Road roundabout in Durham, after riding the 11:00 shuttle from Howlands, which is booked to be 4710.

I will be getting 4710 at 11:15 on North Road to Howlands, quite looking forward it as I can vaguely remember getting on the Nationals when they were used on the 194/294 when I was a kid going to my Grandparents in Houghton le Spring, I would go as far as saying it probably been around 12 since I have been on one.

Thanks. It's nice to know I am appreciated on this forum. 


What a great start to the morning.

Ps. I'm not getting the 9:14 Dan.

Exactly they think because we're with Baz sometimes they immediately assume that we are stupid. Also Lee are you still getting the 09:14 21 out of Gateshead.

I'd like to know how an "Outstanding Performer" can be "dumb" like but, that's by the by. 

Anyway, no I'm not.

Which 21 are you getting then?

This 21 business means nowt to me anyway - got the 20 from my front door.

Does it have NSA for the X21 between Durham & Bishop Auckland.

(21 Jun 2015, 7:16 am)danpick wrote Does it have NSA for the X21 between Durham & Bishop Auckland.

Dont think so. Why dont you just get off at Durham and get a free shuttle up? Might be a bit of a wait like but if you were to get a later 21...

I will do that instead.

Lucky you, I've just had to do my own run of Aycliffe as I left the house late and it took longer to get to the stop I had to use that I knew the 7 definitely would stop at and more annoyingly we have just gone past my house on the 7. Meanwhile you can just doddle to your stop for your more frequent service 20 and and you got your frequent Metro service home last night whilst I stood waiting for buses like a potato.

I hate you

''Toon Link'' branded 5235 is in attendance at the Howlands Park and Ride event today.

You're all slacking. I'm here already, and on the first shuttle of the day - United 6080

I could have come earlier but I wanted a bit longer in bed, venturing all the way to Carlisle yesterday has killed me.

People don't seem to see some of the lengths I go to for this hobby.

Arriva have sent Streetlite 1601, ''MAX'' Gemini 7627 and E200 1323.

Go North East have also sent a Scania OmniDekka, in the form of 6131.

I'm now on my second 21 so i might be there by 11:30.

Preserved Stagecoach 33101 has also made an appearance.

Spotty Scarlet Band Park and Ride Solo SR has just left Durham.
