Bus Related Outings and Reviews
Randomly jumping from topics like Hexham to Jaffa Cakes can make me I've gone totally mad and often think I'm misreading this forum.
Always seems to stem towards food as well.
I reckon we really could do with a Food thread...
(04 Mar 2015, 4:44 pm)Adam Speaking of Jaffa Cakes, I took up Michael's recommendation of getting Lidl's when I popped in earlier. They are actually quite nice, but they're not 89p like Michael said, unless I've picked up the wrong ones...

(04 Mar 2015, 12:15 pm)Tommy_1581 I do, Davie said something about Durham being a shithole...I once saw a lass in Murton at the bus stop on Wood Terrace with a duck, that was being taking for a walk on real small collar and dog leadI know everything me...
Newcastle was more of a shithole when we met, like, I seen a clown walking through the car park towards the metro, then a "mini march" over the bridge, then a hen party alighting off a CrossStinky train...

Had a great day out in West Yorkshire today - great value with the Family WY Dayrover just £11.70 for 2 (or more) people across the whole WY area on bus and train (not valid on train between 1601-1829 now!).
Went to have a look at our Tiger brands in operation and see how the transformation is coming on. Have to say I was very impressed with how it is going. Few tired (that's an understatement!) R/S-reg Solos around the Halifax operation but they are due for replacement very soon with new Solos sighted at Optare...

Just thinking, with my planned Explorer on Saturday - does the Explorer give me platform access to Newcastle Central? As in, through the ticket barriers and full-access. I have an inkling I will be able to, seeing as I can use it on the Sunderland-Blaydon Line, but I just thought to check.
Might try and get a few photos of the 91s and 43s in their new liveries.
