Busy Day for me Tomorrow so I might not get a chance to make a Post ahead of Stockton on Sunday as I am supposed to be helping my Dad move House, but instead I am doing his Grocery Shopping for him, as he is having a House Warming Party, this will also give me the chance to do some Bus Spotting also.
My Plan for Sunday is as Follows: Note I might get an Explorer so I can use Arriva/Stagecoach Services from Stockton to Middlesbrough.
09:18 - 21 - Low Fell to Gateshead
10:10 - X10 - Gateshead to Stockton
*Few Hours at Stockton Depot*
Stockton to Middlesbrough
*Hour in Middlesbrough taking Photos*
X10 Middlesbrough to Gateshead
4 Heworth to Washington Galleries
M2/M2A/50 or 2C - Washington Galleries to Lambton
I know Aureolin is going on Sunday also, if anyone wants to join us on the X10, Your more than Welcome to do so.

However at £15.80 no way, even with a Young Persons Railcard!! Even £8.70 just to get to Newcastle (albeit return).If there is a next time. ;-) first time since deregulation...
Tried looking at the bus, but with the first one in the morning (leaving here 0938) I don't get there until 1330 - I'd rather not be travelling 8 hours.
Call me stingy (I know it is quite a good distance by train) but I'd rather not - especially after having travelling on the train today, and will be on the Tyne Valley diversions for the next couple of weekends. There'll be next time...

(27 Sep 2014, 6:18 pm)Dan wrote Two South Hylton Metros in a row, followed by two South Shields ones.It didn't help me much either. Waited an absolute age for an X1 at the high level bridge, and nowt was coming across, so I ended up getting the 21 to Gateshead.
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, 7:22 am)Dan wrote Anyone going out today... Rememeber that the Metros are off between South Hylton and (I think) Brockley Whins!
Coach replacements for the Northern Rail services too.

(28 Sep 2014, 9:10 am)Dan wrote 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!
(01 Oct 2014, 4:14 pm)NEBCD Malarkey wrote 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.
(02 Oct 2014, 6:47 pm)Robert wrote Couple over in Manchester and a few in Sheffield. At least one in Halifax as mentioned in the Yorkshire bus operations thread. Certainly an ambition that i dont think has been done before. Ill try and have a look for more.
