I was actually appalled by the state of the bus. Seats were falling apart, there were about 20 different designed seats, there were stains all over the seats, massive marks all over the windows, sticky marks on the floor and the list goes on and on.
Obviously I couldn't go up and down the bus taking photos but there were two more seats which were in half, there were partially blue moquetted seats and partially graffiti moquetted seats. There were things scribed into the window.
Go North East should be ashamed that they have put a bus like this out in service. I have never ever had a go at GNE like this before but today it just sums up exactly why I am always moaning about the 82/82A. Disgrace.
Unfortunately I forgot the fleet number of the bus but I made sure the driver fully understood the situation.
I now know that the fleet number is 8262
At least the bus turned up though
