Wasn;t sure where to put this so feel free to move.

As i mentioned in a previous thread I've been using the bus a lot recently to get to work.   In the past when i was a young un I obviously saw different types of fraud like jumping the metro, two lads getting on the bus and passing the bus pass backward so getting 2 on with same pass but what ive seen for the last few days...

A teenager in school uniform ( school in Gateshead )  gets on the 93 i get to Old Durham Road and every time her card is not working. The machine just make that Nosie like a (errrr). Every time the driver has just waved her on but this morning she get a stern talking too as i think the driver must have remembered her.  He still let her on after she said she had no cash wan something about having to walk.... and she had quite a grin on her face as she went upstairs.


Thoughts?

Just looking through FB, and the UK Railways have a tonne of problems, 

TFW Overcrowding 
XC not enough trains/overcrowding 
EMR Norwich to Liverpool overcrowding
GC 180's reliability
Replacement for TPE Class 69
Northern's 156/153 replacements (apparently Northern want 185 for that)
Avanti as a whole 
Appauling state of the Class 800 on LNER/GWR (seats, relability etc)

I think the only good train company really is East Anglia 


An absolute dumpster fire

been mention on fb that 1560 73 are transferring to Stockton

what's the SPRR ON THE x3 and it was tracking on the 63 yesterday 

The GNE Santa Bus is returning from the 16th to 23rd.

Any idea how to find the last read post, without having to scroll backwards and forwards?

Anyone know what the crack is with the stars?  Im on 3 but would rather be 5Star

6155 now in full Elite Bus Driver Training Academy advertising:

With this Loop liveried B9 receiving a full wrap, it does make you think the yellow Streetlites about to arrive may indeed be for something else*, as the B9 has shown the vehicle doesn’t need to be in base yellow for Training Academy advertising. 

*Then again they do look to be in the same shade of yellow as the training Omnicity below.
