Bus Related Outings and Reviews
I was on one of Lee's 53 seater Van Hool Eos coaches when I went down to Silverstone on a Newmarket Holiday. It was absolutely horrible. Legroom was dreadfully terrible and the air con was broken. It was 25 degrees at the time, so everyone had to improvise by using newspapers and magazines as fans and buy at least 2 bottles of water each every time we stopped at the services. Spending 15 hours on that coach over 2 days was dreadful

(26 Jan 2014, 7:14 pm)ADLEnviro Did one of them Freedom Of The North East rail rover tickets last week.
For £92 for four days travel out of eight after 8:45 it was well worth the money.
Visited York, Leeds, Sheffield, Hull, Doncaster, Harrogate, Bradford and Worksop. With a few smaller places for a few minutes between changing trains. Had a great few days out and increased my timetable collection by over 500 timetables.

(29 Jan 2014, 4:25 am)ADLEnviro I was quite shocked at the amount of conductors that had no idea where it was valid never mind the time restrictions. I was left with the impression that when you showed it you were looked upon as a railway enthusiast and classed as one of the family.

Today I decided to have small Trip over to Gateshead/MetroCentre/Blaydon and Winlaton. In which I caught some rather "Odd Workings", Took some of Photos of 5347 in it's New X66 Branding, Had an Awful Ride on 5210 on the 49B, Got stalked by some creepy kid who also likes Buses at Winlaton, who followed back and fourth around the Terminus at Winlaton, and followed me down to the Depot and Around to where the Buses are Parked out back, and then Back up to the Terminus.
I then Confronted him, he got scared and went to the opposite side of the Terminus, before slowly creeping back Around near to where I was Standing next to the Layover for Driver Swaps, I then opted to go around to where the 32 Stops, and the Kid decided to Hide behind a Tree, and slowly as I Walked past, go Around the Back of said Tree, so that he on the opposite side of the Tree.
I continued my slow walk around to the where 32 Stops, and got on it to Blaydon, where I had a Quarter Pounder with Cheese and Fries at McDonalds, And who walks into McDonalds just as I took into my Burger, The Creepy Stalker, who even notice I was there, until I on purposely Shoulder Barged as I was Walking out, Simply because he stood in my way. I then took a few Photos at Blaydon before deciding to go back Home.
