(08 Mar 2015, 3:21 pm)MarcTheA4 Well, I've checked - and there are no railtours scheduled through the north east at all next Saturday.
May kick the day off by heading to Park Lane, get the Metro to Sunderland Rail Station, then Northern Rail to Newcastle Central for a few photos, before heading off wherever I fancy!
Saturday 28th will sadly not by much of a review; as there is Great War Weekend at the Tanfield Railway. I reckon my dad will drop me off, then after a couple of hours I'll get an X30/X31 to Stanley, 8 to Beamish, 128 to Durham (wouldn't mind riding it on it's first day back in service) then just a 21 back. But, with all the photos I plan to take on that day, you may all be in for a treat. I'll likely be riding the train too, which will add something extra to it for you all.

(08 Mar 2015, 3:25 pm)Tommy_1581 There was a useful website...
There's a steam within this half of this year, it's called "The Wansbeck". I'll find the link for you
(08 Mar 2015, 3:27 pm)MarcTheA4 Yes, I heard about that. I think it's a month or so away.

(08 Mar 2015, 4:25 pm)Tom Is anyone going for the Metro Replacements next weekend?
(08 Mar 2015, 4:29 pm)Tom North Shields to Four Lane Ends. Saturday and Sunday I think.
(08 Mar 2015, 4:29 pm)MarcTheA4 Not for me then, I reckon I'll go with whatever I fancy a ride on.
(08 Mar 2015, 4:31 pm)Tom I probably can't make Saturday, but might do them on Sunday.
They'll probably have a mixture of ALX400's and possibly some loaned stuff. Might be nice to go for a ride on them?

(08 Mar 2015, 4:32 pm)Dan Is it Arriva doing them? Go North East usually do the North Tyneside replacements from Percy Main.
I haven't seen a VOSA registration from either - but I may have just missed it.
(08 Mar 2015, 4:33 pm)Tom Yeah Arriva always do them.
They done the North Shields-Shiremoor ones too not long ago.

(08 Mar 2015, 4:40 pm)Dan Can't always do them, as I've got several photos of Go North East running the following replacements:
The bulk of my photos of Arriva operating Metro Replacements are the Newcastle - Regent Centre (and beyond) ones.
- North Shields - Shiremoor
- North Shields - Byker
- North Shields - Monkseaton
- Shiremoor - Whitley Bay

(08 Mar 2015, 8:32 pm)Tom Never saw this before.
You obviously put a lot of effort into the reviews, so to be honest they deserve ten likes
I always enjoy reading them.
(08 Mar 2015, 8:36 pm)Tom You only need two more to get it up to twelve
Do you enjoy writing them?

(08 Mar 2015, 8:37 pm)MarcTheA4 Knowing how many people enjoy reading them, yes I do enjoy writing up my logs.
Also, when I'm older, (preying NEB is still around then), I'll be able to look back on everything I did with the hobby when I was a kid.

All I'm trying to do is help people out, not start an argument (which some people are trying to turn this into)
I wouldn't have just made it up! I actually had an argument with the guard because he was telling me it's not valid. Nexus also said the same.
