(29 Mar 2014, 9:36 am)Tom I'm going to head up to Cramlington or somewhere like that, 'cause the weather isn't good enough to head to Darlo/Stockton like i'd originally planned.
(29 Mar 2014, 9:50 am)Dan Well I'm due my monthly trip to Alpha but I am going to stay in Tyne and Wear. Rather bravely going to Four Lane Ends for the K2 too.

(29 Mar 2014, 9:55 am)Kuyoyo Don't know what you two are going on about - weather's quite decent down Teesside (although that's might just where I am at present - still at home, over 2 hours after I originally planned to be heading out).

(29 Mar 2014, 8:47 am)Dan Anyone out today?
I'm going for a little bit of everything today. Weather isn't up to much, but that's why I haven't left the house yet rather than being out by 6am!

This was not so much a bus-related outing but rather a train-related one, however there was a bus involved at one point so I guess I can put it in here on the basis of that.
I've been in Southport for the weekend (coming back tomorrow).
Yesterday, I purchased a return from Southport to Manchester Victoria for £11.60. From Manchester Victoria I walked to the Manchester Museum of Transport, located in Cheetham Hill. I went there for the Collectors Fair which, overall, was fine although the cramped hall and the heating made it humid and uncomfortable. Heritage bus services were running between the venue and Victoria every 20 minutes or so. A London Transport liveried bus was operating the service as I walked to the venue. When I came back out, this throwback from the 70/80s was on heritage duties.
(30 Mar 2014, 6:45 pm)Tom Loads of us on here going to Edinburgh, me 5th-7th and Dan 5th.

(30 Mar 2014, 6:53 pm)NEBCD Malarkey Looks like we are all going for the B5TL, which is the main reason I am going as well as for photos of the Volvo 7900H's, i'll just see how the Day goes to be Honest, No doubt Dan will supply me with a few ideas on where to go. we should create a Hashtag for the Photos Page #NEBGoes2Edinburgh.
Princes Street can be a bit of a pain as it's extremely busy.
