Enjoy it Marcus!
Finally got round to posting what I did on my Explorer yesterday. Had a nice five-day weekend (Fri-Tues) so on Tuesday I decided to have a trip out on the buses with a mate from Carlisle.

SNE 22069 7 1525 Metrocentre to Fawdon (that bank near from the Tyne to Lemington is mesmorising!)
Metro 4013 4078 1622 Fawdon to Haymarket (front seats!)

Great day. Not just because of the variety and routes I've been, but because of the fact it was Omnicity-free!!!
