Once 4934 has been repainted, it will be exchanged for "Drifter" Versa 8302, which, as we have already established, will be repainted into "Lambton Worm" livery.

Will it work like that - Scania - Versa - Scania - Versa etc until all the Versa are done then just continue with the Scania's, do you know?

and I can just imagine Geordie Shore doing th announcements Charlotte & Gaz on the X1! Haha

(13 Oct 2013, 11:41 am)CatsFast101 wrote I think it was on Facebook that the road actually reopen earlier than that so I assume the shuttle bus wasn't needed.

Can anybody tell me where the Northern Decker materialises from that cannot turn up on time to do the afternoon 878(I think). It's positively crap. On a not so GNE note, how the hell is it left to Weardale to run the 882 from Barely Mow to CHCS? Illogical in my opinion!
