Are there just the 3 that were photographed currently at Heysham Docks at the mo or are there others there also?

A 21 does, however, arrive at Newcastle from Chester-le-Street at 2110, setting it up perfectly for the 2115 departure as there are no other services leaving Eldon Square at that time. I have followed the times back and it works fine suggesting that this arrival is operated by a B5LH.

Had it been a B5 that did the 20:36 from Chester-le-Street it wouldn't have had anywhere to go other than light back to Chester-le-Street which seemed strange when there was a possible journey that it could operate. Looks like the B5 i followed the times back for ends its day on the 19:45 from Newcastle arriving at Chester-le-Street at 20:22.

I'm not sure whether he's getting a bonus for hitting kerbs.
Lovely friendly bloke...unusual for 21 drivers

The shot prior was slightly off, horrible flare. The latter shot, the fog lights just flipped off and there was an omninous mist...

Did get asked what I was doing in Manchester Airport Bus Station but was allowed to continue.
Let's face it... Nobody's going to be around at that time of night on a Boxing Day to enforce the law!
