Don't know how both lenses randomly ended up in M mode.
Did everything except that so I have ended up with naff photos because of that - I am such an idiot.

Currently using my mam's 10000000000000000 year old laptop, with less data than the iPad.
Just wanted to confirm that I'm still here

Only another 50 minutes until I reach Durham

Not the best internally but I think it's fast enough by what I can recall? Been a while since I was last on it - 4992 seems to be the one I regularly get out of the second hand examples.

On the plus side though I got a photo of 4961 on service X1.

One of the front seats, has radiator valves right next to it - just like you would have on the radiator at home.

Was busy too, probably because it was late!

The next 50 better not be 15 minutes late like it was or I will go mad. Sadly I am aware of the reliability of the 50 so I better try and keep myself calm.

(01 May 2015, 2:17 pm)Dan wrote 4991 is my ride to town - not 4992 as is the norm!Many of the Prince Bishops Solars look like that though.
This one is certainly alright in terms of ride quality and its buggy/wheelchair bays have had their seats re-trimmed. Sadly the bars aren't looking in the best condition.

(01 May 2015, 2:38 pm)Jimmi wrote I used to have a dongle for the Internet on three and most of the time it worked well.
Although my dad and sister both had contracts for mobile phones on three and they often struggled to get any mobile signal most places on three so now their contracts have ended they have both gone elsewhere.
(01 May 2015, 2:49 pm)MurdnunoC wrote I have both a dongle and a mobile phone with Three.Signal can be a weird one as at times I can sometimes get great Internet signal in the middle of nowhere yet there is places in Aycliffe I can only get G or E signal for the Internet on O2.
Being out in the sticks a lot of the time, I find my Three reception is usually good. There are some places, like Allenheads for example, where you can't get a signal. But in all fairness, I've been unable to get a signal in Allenheads with EE/Orange so I guessing it's just one of those places where all signals are poor. I'm out in the sticks quite often in my job, I'm often surprised where I can get signal to be honest.
