What's it like?
(03 Jan 2015, 11:50 pm)Adam wrote It was alright I suppose. It could have been better but it could have been worse. Showing its age a bit, especially with it being a manual and not automatic, and the part-leather headrests were wearing away a little. I was sat right behind the driver, so having a little table with cup holders came in handy for a bottle of water and the Costa I bought at the services. Legroom was quite cramped though, so I had to keep stretching my rather long legs by placing them in the aisle now and again.
Anyway, seen as you prefer buses, my first bus of 2015 was Orbit 8330 on the 23:13 #52 from Gateshead to Wrekenton this evening.

Btw, hope that didn't come across as I don't like coaches, I just rarely use them so I don't have much to do or say about them. lol

You could be the envy of the forum here - seeing the FPF's finest in the flesh!

Was there a bloke with a pom pom at the back? I didn't venture up further than the 1st row haha.
And yeah, I could well possibly be the envy of the forum knowing that the identity of the ringleader of the infamous FPF was on the same coach as me... I guess an assassination plot will now be launched against me. Best go into hiding.

The FPF are like bloody pigeons Adam - precision bombing raids at any moment...!

Just don't shoot me in the balls!
Would love to know how you think the guy in the green hoody was me.
Aye, the pom pom fella was the one signing the songs and asking for the music to be turned up.

Which hill will he be standing on? There's so many up in the mighty homeland of Eighton Banks (there's a clue in the name haha).
Can I just say though before I am hunted down and assassinated by the now irritated FPF, it's been an absolute pleasure knowing you all. Good luck and I'll see yous in the afterlife
