Where is the nearest depot to Hartlepool?Yeah they were the old Bargain Buses, think they were at Ashington if I recall correctly but I'm sure they sent them down for the Park and Ride for however long it was on, pretty sure they sent 7412 and 7413 down there for it as well? (If this is the Tall Ships we're talking about?)
Was about 2007 or 2008, but I just remember sitting at the top upstairs with my parents. The bus was a right old banger, like! Could well have been, are you referring to the ex-Bargain Buses?
Coming back from the marina I remember it was something a bit more modern, may have been a Vyking of sort?
You don't seem like much a GNE person, so if you were to get an X30/X31 (presuming you live in the Newcastle areas?) from Eldon Square, which has a chance as an Palatine 2, then if you were to hover around and see if you could hop on one you may well ride one before they're all slaughtered!
You could do....
#X30 - Newcastle to Stanley
#43 - Stanley to Durham
#15 - Durham to Consett
#X71 - Consett to Newcastle
Something like that?
No not a GNE person at all, as there is only the one service I live anywhere near, I'd love to do something like that just to ride on one again, as I've got no chance with Arriva
