I suffered the Metro earlier from Haymarket to Central Station - got to Platform 1 at Haymarket and could barely fit onto the platform! Managed to squeeze onto 4051 but it was alright as there were some attractive ladies on the train too
Well, in 12 hours time, everything will be set up and ready for the doors to open - Stockton Depot Open Day is nearly upon is. Remember, the shuttles start at 11am from Stand 32 in Stockton High Street (outside Iceland/Stagecoach Travel Office - those coming down on the X10 it might be quicker to walk down, unless you are really desperate to have a ride on one of our MAN E300s).

The first one was packed (must have been about 20 mins late), so I decided to wait the extra 3 mins for the next one. We get chucked off at Pelaw, and that buggers off back to the Airport! Timetable = non existent.
Bear in mind I'm wearing a thin white t-shirt and nothing on top of that - it's quite cold!
But don't worry, an old woman who had too much to drink has just made my day.

(28 Sep 2014, 9:10 am)Dan Hahah!
In school we have a rule of thumb that talking is kept to a minimum until 10:15, to allow enough time for people to wake up and not be so bitey.
I'm horrendous for being ever so blunt on a morning, if I haven't had my 8 hours beauty sleep!

Thinking about doing another Day Trip at some point with a bit of a Twist to it, Basically what I want to do is Photograph all the Buses that carry a First Group Heritage Livery, as from looking at Photos of Flickr etc they do look Amazing, But I am unsure on where to go to get these Photographs, so I am wondering if anyone has a full list of Vehicles which carry a Heritage Livery and the Depot they are Located at so I can work out where I need to go from there, Any help is Greatly Appreciated.
