There is no such thing as Arriva Solo Lovers [emoji1]

Actually I don't mind some of the younger examples such as the 11 reg ones at Darlington.

All 08/58 are shocking ( especially ones at Jesmond )  feel sorry for Stockton, who have to put up with them now. Would rather drive the knackered MPDs that were there before

What about Darlington we've had them since they were new in 2008!

They were nicer back then though.

I suppose every bus was better once upon a time, even the solos!


Still cant beat old stagecoach high floor mini darts though of when i was little!   Used to love climbing up the steps into the bus, i still get that feeling in a GNE Olympian!
 im sure they used to be some in Darlington when stagecoach were there.

Where are you gallivanting off to today, Robert?

Guess who's on allocations? 1580 on standby at Ashington bus station.

(14 Jun 2015, 10:56 am)R852 PRG wrote Where are you gallivanting off to today, Robert?

Scarborough to look at a possible caravan site to get a seasonal pitch on in. We arent planned to go back down for the rest of the year so we made a special trip down the not so glorius Yorkshire coast today instead
