My dad did (and still does albeit very rarely) jokingly adopt a theory that every Arriva bus was going Durham. Even if it was down in Manchester or Liverpool. We used to have endless debates on the subject.
I remember the ''Waggonway'' examples always seemed to have more power in them than the ''Lambton Worm'' DAFs.
