Has this winding up and sly (or obvious) digs at Robin not gone on enough now?

Aye, people might have issues with the guys constant questions etc, but howay man let it drop.

Edit. Glad to see the jpeg has gone. Hopefully the original poster decided to get rid of it, rather than an admin or mod.

An enthusiast told me yesterday that 7 of the gas buses have been stored at Walkergate, to answer previous questions in regards to where 28012-15 have been stored.
Not sure how 'correct' that information is, but I've certainly not seen 28012-15 at the Wheatsheaf, so it would seem likely in that respect.

You just need to read up on previous posts. Anything that is knowledge is generally shared. Use the search at the top right of your screen if looking for something in particular, and of course the news section (also top of your screen) has just been updated.

It is. Previously used for ancillary vehicle parking - not sure where this has been re-located?
Does it look like any progress has been made from the photograph on the news?

Just wondering, has the fleet list being updated because Sunderland still has 20 dart's on it, was just wondering?
