Once on an OmniDekka from the MetroCentre to Newcastle, you were onboard with the rest of your family, although I didn't recognise who you were. Have to say I don't recall seeing a family queuing for the X71 when I jumped off, although I was scoping the bus station for any possible targets.
It was just me and big'un, both times - though we were stood at the back of the station, pondering which bus to take home and legged it over when we saw which stand it was heading for.
So a 90 minute journey home turned into 3 hours, as we jumped straight off the Olympian at Consett onto a 78, which we'd been wanting to sample for a while. We changed onto one of the smelly old angels at Chester and got back onto our direct route, at that point.
I tend to be sporting the haggard bag lady look, lately. Big'un tends to be in orange, with his hood up.
