(23 Dec 2015, 2:51 pm)buss14 would mind the streetlite because atleast the roof doesnt leak

You'd have arrived in Berwick in a puddle of sweat however, and probably late, they can't get up to any sort of speed on the A1.

If your back was bad on 7481, you'd have been completely out of luck had a Dart turned up!

A Dart would surely break down somewhere along that journey, the Hodgsons Dart I rode today didn't sound healthy, thought I was going to have to walk some of the remainder of the journey as it was making a warning noise and the driver had to rev it like mad when stationary.

Sounds like an air leak

I can imagine* a Dart on the X15.

*Imagine being left behind at a freezing bus stop on the A1 between Alnwick and Berwick.

Can we please stop talking about Darts breaking down, it's bring up some personal traumas, I really don't want to reminisce of the times for the 7 became Sapphire, a particular distressing memory was one night when I just missed a 7 in Framwellgate Moor and ended up waiting over 45 minutes for another one to turn up, that 45 minutes was between 5pm and 6pm, in the dark, in the middle of winter. Those were some dark grim times.

Almost. The other vehicles on are 1474 and 1595.

Wondering if it's because they overlookd a Sunday NSA program, including easington colliery.

We've got through easington village, now and the bus is quite full, so an extra couple of seats might also be a factor. I suspect a lot of these people are heading for Dalton park, mind.
