(29 Oct 2013, 8:30 pm)gtomlinson With the Lambton Worm getting the Drifter Versas. Which of the two formerly DAF services do you think got the best upgrade?
Waggonway or Lambton Worm?
Having had my first week on the Waggonway (and already having a bloody DAF back on it ) I'm not loving the Solars

Have any of the Saltwell Park Versas been in the paintshop yet? And how many drifters have been done now?

(29 Oct 2013, 9:06 pm)gtomlinson I sense your tone is like 'Christ, whats wrong now?' :D
I dislike the Solars. Bizarrely not as comfy as the DAFs with questionable legroom, as equally as unreliable (service has not improved at all) and they take tight turns like the Titanic
Just wait until December 9th when I move and turn my full fury on the 21 :D:D (though I might jump ship to Arriva's X2)

(29 Oct 2013, 12:16 pm)CatsFast101 8306/8309 have had dodgy blinds for a while now, not much seems to be getting done to fix it.

(29 Oct 2013, 9:27 pm)gtomlinson To be fair to Arriva, when I give up on the 28 and occasionally end up in Chester Le Steet) the X2 is always on time, always clean and normally a decent bus.
The 21 seems fairly unreliable, has god awful commercial radio breakfast presenters shouting at you every 10 seconds and is more expensive but always a decent bus.
Since I'm moving to Low Fell and will be boarding at the Cannon I could always join Trent Chipchase on the Coaster
