As I have been out for nearly 12 hours today and I didn't sleep very well last night instead of doing a Marcus style story review I will just give a more simple log of my journeys today with a few notes.

A few notes:
7442 Hated my ride on this, not a great bus at all and I can't wait to see these go.
6128/6125 Thought these performed quite well although I don't think they were thrashed much on the journeys I did probably because of the wind. Also I only went as far as Stanley today so I could fit both in and I'll be able to ride the Lanchester - Stanley section another day.
7532 Performed extremely well down the A1 to Newcastle despite the wind.
