(25 Nov 2016, 11:26 am)Andreos1 Pulled in to Heworth at 1100 heading south.
On a different note, an Optare bus in Saltmeadows seemed to be getting a shade of paint applied that looks like it belongs on the 28. Didn't get to have a proper look unfortunately.

(26 Nov 2016, 1:06 am)South Tyne Lad Shift pattern goes as follows
Driver Changeover at Concord in Shields direction
50 to Shields
5 to Jarrow
5 to Shields
50 to Durham
50 to Shields ( Shieft ends at Concord ) Quick estimation is around 4.5 to 5 hours per shift.
Id happily do the 5/50 for that amount of time though, The S1 is one I really feel for drivers for driving it.

Hi All,
On Friday I was able to get out and catch up with the ADL Enviro400 City demonstrator and thanks to the awful Black Friday traffic and the other general delays on its return to Gateshead it was running about 45 late. But in the end I was rewarded with the following photo opportunity which I was hoping for but never expecting to happen.
