Should have walked it

(10 Jun 2016, 6:30 pm)BusLoverMum wrote Should have walked it

I actually got off and walked the reminder of the journey to the bus station, beat the 16 by about 5 minutes! Driver didn't sound keen to let me off when I asked, wouldn't care but we were at the St. Leonards School bus stop at the point that I asked to be off! Wish I jumped off at County Hall and started walking from there.

Shout out to the driver for driving straight past a number of people clearly wishing to board the bus at Aykley Heads (University Hospital). Wonder how long people were waiting for a 16/16A towards Stanley considering he left Durham Bus Station not in service.

Aye. There's plenty of more local buses serve that stop.

it was epically dreadful at the same time last friday, too. Everywhere was. We got stuck at Houghton cut, as the roadworks there were causing massive delays that afternoon.

Had fun in Newcastle, this afternoon. Friend and I at a meeting near the Dental Hospital, which we left earlier than usual. Ah, great, we'd miss the worst of the commuter traffic! Only we got the school traffic, instead, on our way through Fenham, down to West Road, and that was even worse. He intended to drive his usual route, down towards the Redheugh Bridge, so we could cut through Bensham, Saltwell road, etc, but got towards his usual turning to find it inaccessible because the road was closed (no inkling of this when I'd checked Twitter, before we set off). Took what looked a likely turning, to find ourselves at a dead end, directly facing the bridge! So had do double back and go East again, seemingly like a few other people, who all took a particular left turn, after the College, which did lead us onto Scotswood road, thankfully!

Just realised that I spent half the afternoon taking photos with a smudge on the lens.

That was big'un last week! I have some wipes in my bag, now.

Not that he found many buses worth taking pics of, today and we didn't have time to hang around at Durham before we came home.

Just missing the NCB train Tanfield Railway have for this weekend as got off the bus there. Had gone by time got across the road (blame traffic) and onto the site.

I have a cloth type thing to clean the lens unfortunately I was unaware of the smudge on the lens until I was looking at today's photos on the train home. I'll be able to crop it out on some photos.

Football related moan...why has it taken Roy Hodgson 86 minutes to take Stirling off? He has played terribly all game, constantly giving the ball away. I don't know why he's in the first team

Stirling and Kane, Kane is just too clumsy, And the fact he hogged the ball off Erick Dier for the 2nd Freekick is disgraceful.

Did Vardy not even come on   Kane is a cracking player no doubt about that though. Just saw the free kick what a goal!!

And Townsend should have got in the squad not Sterling!

Nope which was a shame too, I'm not keen on Kane, Too clumsy with everything he does.

Don't get me started on Sterling.

Yeah not great considering Wales won too. Wales all but through now imo

Haha I hate Sterling too why the hell man city thought he was worth 50 million I will never know! He is no better than Townsend who was a quarter of that price

Exactly, Sterling's a money grabber in my eyes.

I think it's a strange label to give to someone, because in reality, we all are. If you or I got offered a job for 10k more a year, then we'd take it. Same with footballers.
