Another E400 has just past me, which I'm guessing will be mine from Berwick. This is why coaches wouldn't work on the TTX by the way everyone - customers let down when anything besides a coach turns up, especially when we're talking about v. expensive coaches!

Complaining less about 7453 being on as I haven't been on a Lowlander yet (well, not properly... I had a short stint on one of Durham's examples on the 24).

I recall when they were allocated to the Stockton-board X2s - 4052 (?) was an absolute nightmare when I had it from Durham to Chester, but that's the kind of sadistic 'nightmare' I get from a DAF
I also remember one legend of a driver giving me a lift on 4007 from the bottom to the top of Chester.

(31 Jul 2014, 5:02 pm)Roland Pratt wrote Odd (though not for Arriva!) that they are getting rid of refurbished ones rather than the likes of 4037 etc, but I suppose they'll all be gone soon so doesn't really matter!
