I need to watch Little Britain when I return home next Sunday.

I have a feeling who you are talking about...... i seen the comment too..........
Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.

Cycling past Royal Quays today and seen the famous bus shelter off 9 year ago.

Why is it famous you may ask!?

Well there was a lady on the other side of the road 9 years ago who was absolutely stunning. And unfortunately for me whilst I was checking her out the said bus stop just appeared. Wallop. I hurt myself physically but not as much pride????

My map reading skills. Took a wrong turn and ended up in the courtyard of a big country mansion somewhere between Rothbury and Scots Gap.

Managed to find my way home in the end.

Sounds like me with Google Maps, even with directions I tend to make some wrong turns  Big Grin

Can't seem to see that on my phone, has it been removed?

It did return to service yesterday. By and large; I just follow the same basic schedule for each refurbished Mercedes Citaro, though. Delivered one day, branded the next, returning to service the day after. More often than not, it's delivered and branded on the same day.

It shows on the homepage at the moment - the news page does not show "unapproved" news posts which have been contributed by other members, but the homepage (http://northeastbuses.co.uk/) does for now until it's properly built.

So Arriva have had a promotional event in Gosforth today to promote their 43/44/45, and the one thing they don’t do is to bring a bus to promote it, all they have is an information stand. Rather annoyed as well as used up petrol to go there for nothing when I was expecting a bus to be present.

In fairness, it was never said that there would be a bus present today, unsure if the area where the launch was today is able to accommodate a bus or not (I don't know Gosforth). Was the same when the X46 went MAX, there was just a person with a table of freebies in Crook Market Place on a market day.

The Facebook comments on the post for today's launch are quite a amusing read, it's a mix of enthusiasts pointing out that the buses aren't new and are actually 10 years old and of course and of course the people of Gosforth still ain't happy, mainly in regards to pollution and seem to think they are on the same level as London "The recent buses on these routes were shipped up from London where they were no longer allowed to operate under guidelines, so instead they choked our streets with them instead. If they were no good for London, they're no good for Gosforth" actual quote.

There’s bollards on the pavement where the Square is so I guess that there wasn’t enough room to park as a bus wouldn’t be able to fit through them and not really anywhere large enough to park next to it.

Apparrently the bus was supposed to be at some park or other, at 1:30. It wasn't gosforth central park because we ate our lunch and played some Pokémon go, there.

The birthday announcement has always intrigued me (not sure why people would announce their birthdays to strangers), but today's birthday's amused me no end.

So many Christmas shenanigans in the Sinclair family that triplets appeared!

Did you reply to him? And if so, which language did you reply to him in?

I apologised for my terrible German. Translated some of the words he used when I got home. He was referring to littlun's stimming which goes into overdrive in that bus station when it's busy.
