(23 Dec 2013, 1:23 pm)andreos1 Have to admit to never taking my charger out with me on a night out mind .
(23 Dec 2013, 1:23 pm)andreos1 Maybe worth retrofitting sockets onto the x1 and 21 Gemini's...
I imagine quite a few people travel point to point and run out of charge on those journeys.

(23 Dec 2013, 1:35 pm)Dan Should have been a bit more clear...
You (rather unfortunately) live in Blyth, and you're travelling home from work in Newcastle. You bring your charger to work with you, and use it when on the 309 home because you know you only have about 30 minutes in the house at tops before you go out again.
In the time it takes for you to get to Blyth, your phone can be relatively topped up battery-wise.
Agree on this one.

No arrivals last Thursday or Friday, and as I said above, Wrights dont usually deliver this week with it being Christmas.

(23 Dec 2013, 3:24 pm)Dan Oh, and speaking of fleet lists...
I think NEB's GNE fleet list is now up to date. PM me with any errors or things I've forgotten...
