Ohhhhhh Yeeeeeeeeeahhhhh, I wouldn't dare pay £15 to watch a PPV when I can stream it on-line for FREE, I do the same for Raw/Smackdown also, why pay for a Sky Sports Subscription for the Year, Although I may pay £10 a Month for the WWE Network once I get a PS4 in Few Months, Then gtomlinson you won't have worry about Paying for me to Watch Wrestling
.As for getting to Team Valley that sounds like a Plan to me, No doubt I would be stuck in Traffic for Ages otherwise, but hell it's only Ingeus/Zodiac, I'm not bothered about being late, It took them 2 Weeks to Ring me back to tell me I start a Course Tomorrow which I was meant to Start a Week ago.

Or get a bus to Chester and get the 28A to Sainsburys (if you have a spare 4 horus)
If your uber keen to be early you could get the 941 from Galleries -gets you there at 8.13 (those worker services are always cheap) than grab a cuppa in Sainsburys?

With the Mercs being displaced off Cobalt duties, what is happening to the 2 older Mercs that were swapped with a different company (Southern Vectis was it) are they going with the other Mercs to a different service or becoming Spares.

Providing the times haven't changed since 2006 when Classic operated it, see timetable here.

Don't think it starts early and you've got the walk to factor in. I'd get the workers bus for the novelty.
Shame the 92 is peak only, that would have been good

Forgot about that!
Hopefully Malarkey takes all these hints, tips and words of wisdom on board?!
In years gone by, he could have got the 638 to the Gold Medal. One bus and a short walk, no need for any changes

Was the same time as that timetable when I saw it last weekend.

He could do the m2/m3 to Birtley and pick the 28a up there.
TVTE isn't the easiest place in the world to get to like...

Cheapest option would be the 941 probably.

It is easy, with a change or three, a walk and a two zone buzzfare...

All Tips and Words of Wisdom have been Noted, The 638 would of been just Perfect for me back in the Day. How's about a Modern Day Extension on the 2A/2C to Crawcrook, Hell it could use the Cobalt Clipper Citaros to aid the Increase in PVR, and then GNE can give the Pronto/WTX Passengers the News that this Extension of the 2A/2C had to be "Top Priority" due High Levels of Passenger Demand and those rather Large Profits they would get also, to then aid an upgrade for the Pronto/WTX. - #EveryonesAWinner #MalarkeyMarathons

Nothing wrong with changing. Where I live if you do not want to go to either Blyth or Newcastle you are screwed. I have to get an Arriva bus, then Metro, then GNE bus to get to work.....it is just one of those things.
RE: Go North East - Latest - gtom - 26 Jan 2014
You could ride the 29 back to Gateshead and catch bendies on the way home

It is easy to get to I must admit, I just have to play "Hunt The Zodiac Building" - Ermmmm You Guys............You Forgot the 939 as another Possibility, And I wouldn't want to Risk going via Birtley, I might caught up in a Police Stand Off on Birtley High Street with a Man threatening to Commit Suicide because iFry sent him the Wrong Pizza he had Ordered the Night Before.

Bit pointless getting the 939 as it gets you there so early (quarter past 8 or so if memory serves), and in my experience it always runs early for the scholar it performs afterwards - timings aren't exactly an issue on the 939, to say the least.

Good job you don't live in Fencehouses then!
Blyth and Newcastle are exotic compared to Heworth, Houghton or Chester...

Anyone mentioned the 937 from Birtley?

Just behind Sainsburys loading bays on 11th Ave.
Big red brick building, opposite CF recovery - unless it has moved...

Keep up Dan. Gets him there at 8.13 but he can grab a cuppa in Sainsburys

Long cuppa!
Or does it take an hour to drink 'cause it tastes so bad?

If you are going into Sainsburys, I will give you my Nectar card to get some extra points for me
RE: Go North East - Latest - Davey Bowyer - 26 Jan 2014
I realpy honestly don't know when they're going to be launching the Cobalt Clipper B9's. I don't know whether or not it's going to be a staggered launch over a number of days or, if they will promote it on Friday then launch on 3rd February. I think that if it's Tomorrow morning, they'll launch them on the 310 / X39 running board.

According to Google Maps it's across the Road from the Skills Academy which most likely inaccurate, I'll find it eventually, I could get down there early and Photograph the Workers Services, That's if there is even any Daylight come 8:15am and then go to Sainsbury's for a Bacon Sandwich after finding Zodiac. Either way i'll be aiming to get there Early so I can find the place.

I think they'll be out this week, but don't quote me on that.
RE: Go North East - Latest - Davey Bowyer - 26 Jan 2014
I honestly don't know myself. I've been waiting for them to launch since early om this month. It's becoming a waiting game. How many are in Percy Main now fully branded up in the final brand and ready to go?

That's why I was saying the 'unless they have moved' bit - cos there were rumours they were going to move after Ingeus took Zodiac over.
Looks like they have moved!
