(11 Jan 2016, 6:26 pm)R852 PRG wrote Think I'll do an Explorer on Saturday. Struggling for ideas on what to aim for, however. I'm intent on getting a few Lowlanders cleared for photo and haulage, as they've been sentenced to death with the news of the upcoming arrival of some ex-London ALX400s. Could also do with a few Stagecoach in Newcastle ALX300s, as well as some photos of the diversions due to the East Coast Mainline being off between Darlington and Durham, although the last idea could easily wait for another day. If anybody has any suggestions, feel free to put them forward. Only place I won't be doing will be Teesside, as I've visited the place twice in the last month. As I always do with Explorers, it will be reviewed.
Was going to suggest pretty much the same as Jimmi! You could do all that on an Arriva day ticket, too. We're probably doing similar, at the weekend, as I have my voucher to use and we haven't been that way since before Christmas.
The run out to Crook is a nice one. (And some of the street names are awesome). Unfortunately, the 43, 48 etc don't connect up so well, but you could grab yourself one of the maps and do a few there and back runs, if you see the right vehicle.
Take a cushion.
