After a short wait, 142084 turned up. I sat down on what is basically a bench from an older bus with Northern Rail and First Great Western fabric. The conductor tried to charge me a full return to Nunthorpe as he was sure that Explorers weren't valid from here to Sunderland. He then went to his cab to check if they were valid, and he opened his door and gave a thumbs up. Nowt much else happened on this 'bus from hell' as my brother calls them.
Explorers are not valid between Metrocentre and Newcastle.
