ALL of the 13xx darts are awful. I've driven all of them at Darlington now (1306 yesterday being the latest) and they are an embarrassment in every single way. At the very least they all need new engines, but realistically they have just sent better for scrap. 1308 arrived in Darlington 20 mins late this afternoon and got taken out of service, it is by far the worst of the bunch.

I can't stand them, I refuse to use service 8/8A because they are that bad, I wanted to go from Darlington Town Centre to Morrisons the other day and I didn't get on it and instead jumped on the Scarlet Band 16.

If you want to know how bad they are, I jumped on one on the 64 at the Arnison Centre the other week and the GNE 14 pulled in behind and it was a Vyking and I was thinking that I'd rather be on the Vyking!

Euro bus is next week in Birmingham 

The days: 

Starts on 4th, 5th, 6th - all start at 9:30am and end at 5pm (expect the Friday where it ends at 4:30pm)

Bus and Coach have a article about it on pages 27-30 (1 page between is advertising Thorntons)

Which of the three bidders would you like to see win the Northern Rail franchise, and why?

For the past few days pictures and videos haven't been showing up and instead you just end up with a link in square brackets.

If anyone is having this problem go into the edit options then in the Thread View Options there is some tick boxes, tick: Display images in posts and Display images in posts and this should fix the problem.

Just thought I'd post this in case anyone was having this problem, as I had it for a few days until I just looked at my settings and noticed that them boxes were un ticked.

Hi there,

I was thinking just now, there are a lot of things in our community that we don't always think about....not so much personal issues, but just those little, almost insignificant things that you don't always think about.

Just to kick off a conversation, how does everyone say fleet numbers? I know some people, for example, would say 8243 as 'eight two four three', while I would say 'eighty two forty three'. This is purely from spending so much time talking to drivers, etc., and I've just picked it up like another language! I would feel kind of stupid if I pronounced a fleet number in the single digit format, how about others?

I just figured a thread like this would be useful to discuss how different people go about doing their hobby.

News and discussion on High Speed Three

Had this idea from another forum, and it seems to be very popular there, so I thought I'd try it here. Show off your best work with a camera, but please stick to the theme of passenger transport. Whether that be Bus, Rail, Air or Water. 

There's no restriction on when/where photos are taken, but could we also limit posts to no more than two images per week? Also ensure photos are posted using the IMG tags, rather than URLs or attachments, which should make it easier for everyone to browse!

Happy posting!

Wrightbus has released its first images of the new front and slightly restyled rear of its double-deck StreetDeck integral and Gemini 3 body. The complete vehicles will be at Euro Bus Expo and the first StreetDeck order has been announced from Brighton & Hove, for Service 25. All this and a great deal more will be described in detail in December BUSES, on sale 20 November.


Information from Buses Magazine Facebook Page, Photos of the New Streetdeck can be seen on the Link Below.

Looks like the Gemini 3 and E400MMC have been having it on, Looks Hideous.

Can't blame the people of Brafferton not wanting to walk three-quarters of a mile to reach the nearest bus stop, especially as there is no footpaths and it is not a very wide road

Not sure if this is the correct place to put this thread, please move if you think it would be better somewhere else.

The Mobile App for NEB has been Updated This Morning, Not to sure what the Updates are but the Background Colour has went from Grey(I Think) to a nice shade of Orange, And the Profile Page has been updated to allow you edit your Personal Details, other than that it looks pretty much the same to me, No doubt there is quite a few more Updates to Tapatalk I just haven't noticed them yet.
