(16 Aug 2016, 10:25 pm)GMitchelhill Actually the 77 and 206 tend to share vehicles. It did when I was in the Lakes the other week.
Also the Volvo Olympian always seems to be used on the 508.

Posted this photo: https://flic.kr/p/LhPJJv in a Facebook yesterday evening, it has attracted many likes but unfortunately it has sparked a huge debate regarding the fact that this was allocated to this service with arguments thrown in regarding DDA and PSVAR, the argument is that some are claiming that it doesn't meet PSVAR regulations and it shouldn't be used on public service work etc. as the usual buses are low floor easy access buses, my understanding is that coaches are fine to be used on normal service work until January 2020, so really there is nothing to stop Stagecoach allocating this or a similar coach that doesn't meet PSVAR regulations until January 2020 comes but this isn't good for them and continued the argument stating that it's a coach and not a bus and thereby shouldn't be used on the service and it's just gone on and on, the simple fact is they are wrong and continue to argument their statement which is incorrect, comical moment was them sending a link that included a statement stating that he's wrong and the other people in this debate are correct, I got red up by this point and quoted the statement that states their case on the matter is wrong and I felt the need to include the fact that I regretted uploading the photo there as a result of this argument and apologised to the people who've had to see this argument constantly popping up over the last 23 hours.

Thing is, that the vehicle concerned is taxed and licensed as a coach, and legally can be used on normal stagecarriage services regardless until the deadline in 2020. For Example, Arriva could as well continued using the DAF SB3000 coaches on the 685 until 2020, it would have been an unwise move, but nothing would have stopped them. Loads of companies still use coaches, for example Wright Brothers still use one on the 888. So it's all legal and above board until 2020.

Every bloody time I get the X66 to Darlington where there is a possibility of catching the 5/5A home from Harrowgate Hill, we get to Harrowgate Hill Roundabout and I get treated to the sight of the 5/5A going round it.
Everytime...
Not one from today. Does it still count?
Pleather seats on the bus when it's raining heavily outside.
Rather than absorb the dampness from people's clothing (like the traditional cloth types), the pleather let's it collect in puddles - rendering the seat pointless.
Unless you want a wet ar$e.
Toughie today...
Found out my partners granddad died this afternoon, he had been in hospital now for nearly 3 months and had been very unwell for the last 6 weeks...
The hard thing is trying to explain to a 5 year old that she will never see her Granda Eddie again ...
Though I am taking her out on a little bus outing to help give my partner a rest one day in the week

Slept in by over an hour.
Massive delays at Beaumont Hill in Darlington (again!) because they've put temporary traffic lights out because there is a bloke out with a strimmer, nowhere near the edge of the road!
FFS, bloody Darlington Borough Council!!!

(22 Aug 2016, 10:33 am)LeeCalder That's health and safety unfortunately... But, if that bloke with a strimmer wasn't there, people would moan about the council not looking after the local area.
