RE: Bus Related Outings and Reviews - Tom - 29 Jan 2015 (29 Jan 2015, 5:54 pm)MarcTheA4 wrote Value for money tbh. Maybe you should get a POP card? Only 60p for a single. Anyway, it should really be 85p on the 100 as you are under 16. Seems a shame that you have spent all of the effort with your ticket book for it just to go to waste? And with regards to your edit, a Child day ticket for Arriva is £5, and a adult £7.50. Good if your going to Ashington/Morpeth/Alnwick.

Don't think I qualify for a POP card? I think you have to be Tyne & Wear - I'm County Durham. See my edit! ![]() RE: Bus Related Outings and Reviews - Tom - 29 Jan 2015 (29 Jan 2015, 5:57 pm)MarcTheA4 wrote Don't think I qualify for a POP card?

I already did ![]() RE: Bus Related Outings and Reviews - omnicity4659 - 29 Jan 2015 Pop cards are for Tyne and Wear residents only - I wanted a Pop card because as I went to school in Sunderland, I was a frequent passenger on Metro and Sunderland Connect. RE: Bus Related Outings and Reviews - R852 PRG - 30 Jan 2015 Might try some Stagecoach's Newcastle E400s while I'm out tomorrow. Might see an ALX300 on something familiar. Maybe a run to Regent Centre on a Sapphire or MAX then the Metro back...will hitch a few rides on the 36s tomorrow, might get something good. ![]() RE: Bus Related Outings and Reviews - DanPicken - 30 Jan 2015 (30 Jan 2015, 6:59 pm)MarcTheA4 wrote Might try some Stagecoach's Newcastle E400s while I'm out tomorrow.

I'm going out early tomorrow to get the 20/A from South Shields to Houghton then the 36 to Town End farm then proberly the the 35 (I think it's in Tyne And Wear) then after that I don't know. RE: Bus Related Outings and Reviews - northern156 - 30 Jan 2015 I'm out on the buses for a change tomorrow! Not got a definitive plan but I'll be in Eldon Square for 0830 before getting the Metro from Haymarket to Northumberland Park for a hearty all-you-can-eat breakfast at the Toby Carvery in Shiremoor. I'll then be on the X40 a few times to have a trip on the bendy Scanias before they disappear (never been on a bendy example before). I was then planning on going to Middlesbrough but I simply cannot be bothered - I'll go around Chester, Durham, Sunderland and Peterlee I think! (Including visiting the Chester Greggs, Marcus!)

Have a good time, Sean! ![]() I would suggest getting something from Sunderland to Houghton, then on the new 36 into Chester (Mercs, not OmniCities ![]() ![]() RE: Bus Related Outings and Reviews - northern156 - 30 Jan 2015 (30 Jan 2015, 7:54 pm)MarcTheA4 wrote You lad. Forgot the Laser has its new service now, must give it a shot. I know there's a couple of Jesmond Omnicities out of service at the moment so I'm hoping for a Pulsar for my trip home on the 1745 tomorrow evening! (First bus there is a Stagecoach in Cumbria ADL E300 - or, fingers crossed - a MAN A69). I don't even know where each laser service goes now lol, even after reading all the information on it. I need a paper timetable! ![]() Not going to go to the Consett area at all tomorrow, I'd rather keep where the snow isn't around! (Not even for an Olympian!) EDIT: Actually I think I'll try and get the 0748 GNE X85 from Hexham as I really don't want to go through Throckley, Walbottle etc... I'd rather have a gun to my head at that time in the morning! RE: Bus Related Outings and Reviews - Jimmi - 30 Jan 2015 Think I'll have a relaxing day at home tomorrow, unless I get bored. I have taken a lot of photos this week and uploaded a lot of photos to Flickr so I think I'll avoid uploading anymore photos for a few days. I am also trying to avoid going out as much at the moment as I'm trying to save money as I'm looking to buy a new camera.

Take a gun with you - just in case your 36 breaks down in Fencehouses and the locals take you hostage... ![]() RE: Bus Related Outings and Reviews - MrFozz - 30 Jan 2015 (30 Jan 2015, 8:10 pm)MarcTheA4 wrote Take a gun with you - just in case your 36 breaks down in Fencehouses and the locals take you hostage... Normally being on a bus will get you safe passage... There are FPF splinter groups(Continuity FPF and Real FPF) and the Fencehouses Nationalist Liberation Army who may attempt to ambush a bus, but I am sure Andreos and GNE have a non-agression pact, GNE run buses through Fencehouses in return the FPF promise to leave buses alone ![]() RE: Bus Related Outings and Reviews - omnicity4659 - 30 Jan 2015 (30 Jan 2015, 8:24 pm)MrFozz wrote Normally being on a bus will get you safe passage...

Need a couple of bits and bobs, but my younger brother's coming along with me, so we're confined to Tyne and Wear due to him having a POP card.
