(11 Nov 2015, 1:39 pm)Davie Does anybody know why 5160 left Wrekenton earlier with "Go North East Welcome Aboard" on the blind?

There is an emergency road closure at the moment due to resurfacing works:

5160 has been temporarily reinstated for use on this free shuttle service.

(11 Nov 2015, 1:16 pm)Adrian I hope you don't have a sensitive nose then.

I do, unfortunately. Just glad I'm not pregnant, or I'd probably have added worse to the smell. (bad memories of ending up on a hot bus, stuck next to the guy who had discovered the Lynx effect, but unfortunately not the soap and water effect, while expecting Big'un. I couldn't get off that one fast enough)

(11 Nov 2015, 10:15 am)BusLoverMum I am hereby nominating 3965 as the fustiest bus ever.

Smells like a dirty old floor cloth on here. Only caught it because I thought I'd missed the pronto.

3872 takes some beating mind!
Especially on a day like today.

Aye haha. Mind, if it hadn't had its seats retrimmed (which to be honest is pretty hard to miss with the bus looking so much brighter), I wouldn't have noticed it.

That's almost the words Kev uses if we see a new bus that's came out the year we took its lets just say Arriva got new buses he would say "there gonna be out ages got plenty of time photographing them"

Versa 8310 has gained a larger Great Park logo. Guessing it has something to do with the one in the green circle being too small hence its removal

It's a minor re-branding scheme, in partnership with Great Park.

Compared to the old X40 brand, there was hardly any mention of 'Great Park', so more Great Park vinyls have been added - all vehicles due to be re-branded this week. 8310 due to re-gain a 'Quaylink' sticker below windscreen too.

8318's blind is definitely knackered.
Also, 4927 was on the 28 earlier and had a dodgy blind.
And finally, while I was on 3974 on the 93 earlier, the ramp wasn't working
