RE: Bus Related Outings and Reviews - tyresmoke - 03 Mar 2015
Bit of advice for anyone thinking of Hexham - make sure you go on market day as you will get a lot more stuff as weekly services run in from rural areas. Coach park is usually full of Wright Bros, Howard Snaith etc

Haha. I said the other day "I'll plan a journey for tomorrow on traveline" and in reply I got "Nar because you'll put DURHAM in"
I think I'll take your advice and give him a spiked cherryade haha.
If he thinks Durham is bad. I'll have to take him to Pennywell where my sister lives! All of her nextdoor neighbours windows got put through last week

Is it really your first posts though, or the more recent ones relating to 4852?
RE: Bus Related Outings and Reviews - Jimmi - 04 Mar 2015
Randomly jumping from topics like Hexham to Jaffa Cakes can make me I've gone totally mad and often think I'm misreading this forum.
Always seems to stem towards food as well.

Oh no, don't tell me they've cost the entirety of your student loan??

Had a great day out in West Yorkshire today - great value with the Family WY Dayrover just £11.70 for 2 (or more) people across the whole WY area on bus and train (not valid on train between 1601-1829 now!).
Went to have a look at our Tiger brands in operation and see how the transformation is coming on. Have to say I was very impressed with how it is going. Few tired (that's an understatement!) R/S-reg Solos around the Halifax operation but they are due for replacement very soon with new Solos sighted at Optare...

Just thinking, with my planned Explorer on Saturday - does the Explorer give me platform access to Newcastle Central? As in, through the ticket barriers and full-access. I have an inkling I will be able to, seeing as I can use it on the Sunderland-Blaydon Line, but I just thought to check.
Might try and get a few photos of the 91s and 43s in their new liveries.
