However...there is a shock for you, citaro5284...I'm on an Explorer!

I live in Northumberland, so just make sure you have your passport if coming this way, we do not accept any Tom, Dick or Harry up here you know!
(06 Mar 2015, 9:00 pm)MarcTheA4 wrote Well, no set plan for tomorrow. Definitely going for an Explorer though.
I have listed a few aims:
• A ride on some Drifter Streetlites
• A bit of time at Newcastle Central
• A run to Regent Centre and back
• Take a few photos
• Few journeys on the Metro
Edit: Although, seeing as I'm going to be mainly in Tyne and Wear - I could even opt for a Day Rover...
(06 Mar 2015, 9:11 pm)MarcTheA4 wrote In other news...after tomorrow - I may as well start taking suggestions.
Providing I've got no set plan already pre-made in the workshop () - feel free to drop any suggestions below. Not daft ones, be serious.
The one I like the most will be featured next week

See what you have to say about some of the renowns
(06 Mar 2015, 9:22 pm)MarcTheA4 wrote Might do, I'll see other suggestions too though.
I'll be critical. One sweeping blow and the crack team of citaro5284'n'Dan (yes, I said that) will have 4912, 4913 and 5165 gone. Whatever makes their weekend. They are the masters.
(06 Mar 2015, 9:27 pm)Jimmi wrote Hopefully tomorrow's outing will be a bit less chavtacular than today's trip to Darlington, although looking at the plan it probably will be more chavy with some of the places I'm heading and also it's Saturday.See, I've never had any bother whatsoever in Darlington. Having said that, I haven't had much bother at all.
One downside to the Nikon D5100 is it is more noticeable and more people will stare or come up and take the piss, or at least they do in Darlington.

I've had several people over the past few years ask me to take their photo - sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Most of the time I just laugh. I really couldn't give a toss about what a random stranger who I'm unlikely to ever see again thinks.
(07 Mar 2015, 9:01 am)MarcTheA4 wrote For anyone wishing to find 91105 and 91124 today, please see my post in the East Coast/Virgin East Coast thread.Ta - will try and squeeze them in today! Have some repaints and MAX to catch up with first, and my fear is that trains will be difficult if they aren't stationary as we have some big black clouds above us today....
(07 Mar 2015, 10:09 am)Jimmi wrote I actually only had one come up to me yesterday in Darlington and I wasn't really that bothered was just thinking " oh **** off"Never really that problem myself, had people look at me when I am taking pics but never been talked to in that way...Maybe being older and a big lad may work to my advantage.
The worst I've had so far was Bishop Auckland Bus Station where two chavy lasses started shouting in my face " EEE YOU BETTER NOT BE TAKING PHOTOS OF PEOPLE" and I totally just didn't care so I decided to take loads of photos of the bus they got on to **** them off.
So these instances can happen anytime, anyplace really, some are happy having their photos taken, other's aren't and I don't particularly care if people who don't end up being snapped as you often can't really see them in the photo anyway.
Yesterdays general chav pain was not related to my photo taking it was just chavs being loud annoying and stupid as ever, for an example of stupidity from yesterday check the Darlington Town Centre Bus Stops thread later on when I make a post.
