A 61 reg Pulsar was heading away from Biddick/St Roberts about 8.20 this morning towards Makro/A1 (M).
Or is there somewhere in Washington that does work on vehicles?

(04 Nov 2013, 2:09 pm)Adam Malarkey There is a Journey on an Afternoon which goes through Lambton, it's numbered 469, there is another which goes through Springwell which uses a Gemini I believe and that finishes at Kibblesworth and there is an 860 which starts at Heworth, No Idea where that goes though, As for mornings I have no idea who does what in the Washington Area, These Services look like they are operated by Jesmond Depot.

There is a Volvo Bus and Truck Centre up at Ayton, further up the road from the Holiday Inn if you were heading towards Crowther Industrial Estate, But from what you have said above I say it was a Scholars Service.

(04 Nov 2013, 4:46 pm)Andreos1 I was heading towards Biddick/St Roberts along the A195 from the direction of Makro. This was going in the opposite direction NIS.

(04 Nov 2013, 5:13 pm)Adam Malarkey Would of done a Scholars Run to Biddick/St Roberts then, Most likely heading back to Jesmond Depot via that way to go straight onto the Motorway down via Heworth etc

(04 Nov 2013, 5:23 pm)Andreos1 Not knocking the suggestion, that's what my initial thoughts were - but this was 8.20 (early for scholars dropping kids off?) and if heading back to Jesmond, surely at that time heading along the A195 via Barmston, Sulgrave and onto Lingey Lane, Felling Bypass would be quicker than getting stuck on the Motorway...

(04 Nov 2013, 5:34 pm)Adam Malarkey Could been going towards Ayton to do the 458, as that goes through Lambton just after 8.30 on a Morning going to St Roberts so the timings would fit in perfectly, I think that makes more sense.

4701 managed one trip on the 27 before being replaced by 1904. Likewise, 1909 only managed one trip on the 63 before being replaced by 4704 off the 64a/X3/X4.
