(31 Jan 2016, 5:10 pm)Davie Might be best to do this in the summer, but could you try a day out in Amble or Scarbough?

I agree that it would be better done in finer weather, but I imagine I'd probably leave those two suggestions for an outing not necessarily bus-related, such as taking the dog to either location with family. Don't think I could do the X20 to Amble or X93 to Scarborough without contemplating suicide after Trashington or Whitby respectively.

Or you could have try and bash some of Arriva's ALX400's.

Not sure I'd even bother with Amble as the X20 is about the only service that runs through Amble, think about the only other one is the Travelsure 472. I just use Whitby as a way of splitting the Scarborough X93 journeys up a bit, you can get pretty much everything there within half an hour.

I am a lover of the ALX400s, but I'm more inclined to ride one of Jesmond's as they seem to be in the best condition. Belmont's 7477 was a workhorse when I had it on the 46 a few weeks ago, but it sounded really rough. I think it just that the gearbox was shot.

You could try to track down 7458 as I belive that one is to be withdrawn this year.

Possibly, but it will be a mission where I'll go in completely blind, as I won't be able to utilise the assistance of Dan or citaro5284.

If you go to Blyth bus station that will be your best bet.

There's the X18 to Amble, which goes via Morpeth. Then you could get something to eat in Amble if there's time before the 472 to Alnwick, which takes an interesting route via Warkworth, along tight country roads through to Felton and Shilbottle before heading up to Alnwick. Explorer and Arriva day tickets are valid on Travelsure services.

citaro5284 is less blunt, example conversation;

Me asking citaro5284:

Me: ''Hey, any chance you could track something in the morning for me?''

citaro5284: ''Sure, no problem.''
