Bus Related Outings and Reviews
Not going to Blackpool on Saturday now. May upload some more photos from last Fridays trip to Gateshead and Newcastle on Saturday evening.
Thinking of doing something tomorrow afternoon but I have zero idea what yet though.
(31 Mar 2015, 2:19 pm)Jimmi Yeah that's true, there is two weekday workings I can imagine will definitely be E400 operatered which would be the two Darlington - Framwellgate Moor morning journeys as they are very busy, I also know which journeys are Belmont operated on weekdays.I have to use (in school time), the X21/22 every day as part of my journey, and it does get boring
Still be better variety than solid Pulsar though, used to get all sorts pop up when it was the 713/723 Darlington - Arnison Centre although I had ideas what could turn up as I knew whether Darlington or Durham depot was doing the journey in question.

I'm considering a trip into Northumbria; Blyth and Ashington mainly, as they have Arriva depots just a short walk away from the bus stations.
I've decided to go to Blyth first, get Service 1 to Ashington, then an X21/X22 back to Newcastle - but, I'm wondering which route up to Blyth anyone recommends? I understand theres the X4/X5, X10/X11, X13, the list goes on! Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Would be this Saturday (4th April).

Not planning on a long time in Ashington, just a quick walk to the depot (which I imagine is no more than 30 seconds haha) for some photos then return to get the next Sapphire back to Newcastle.

(31 Mar 2015, 5:59 pm)MarcTheA4 I'll work out timings and the final plan closer to Saturday (providing nothing comes up), so yeah I meant see you too if I can fit it in.For your sanity, get one of the new ones! Aim for 7523/4 as I know everything works on both of them, I'll check some others tomorrow for you
You'll all in for a treat, I'll voice my opinions of the full Ashington-Newcastle route on the X21 or the X22, and the Newcastle-Blyth route on the Coastliner 308.

Hoping to make a few trips over the holidays.
Want to do a County Durham trip, to ride a few Lowlanders, and I might go to the Sapphire launch.
Also planning to do a Northumberland trip to ride the H1/H2, and the 34. Possibly a run up to Ellington too, as well as a ride on the 100.
