Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - February 2019

Bus wifi box must take a hammering on those'ns. When I was a scholars... last year.... I was too dead in the mornings to bother with that stuff.

Believable.

When Stanley got the London B9TLs, once the 'main school' kids worked out that any bus that looked like that had WiFi, you'd often hear one or two of them quietly exclaim 'its a wifi bus!' when they saw one approaching. Similarly, they would express disappointment if an Omnidekka came along instead. 

WiFi has, and never will, attract me to use the bus. I think I've only ever taken advantage of it being available once to post something on this forum, if my memory serves me correctly.

I'm perhaps behind the times for someone of my age, but I don't a strong social media user, so I have more than enough data to see me through the month. Whether or not I use the bus (whenever I do actually go out) is purely on a situational basis.
