Just had a blast from the past.
No idea where this came from!

Redby put on a service (13?) that ran from Houghton - Heworth or Newcastle.
Go ahead responded by sticking an extra 194 on, to run ahead of the Redby. It was usually a MiniLink of some sort and I think that tells the story of how much demand there was...

On one occasion the 13 stopped opposite Seaburn Garage on Station Road/Beatrice Terrace and despite having its indicators on, the 194 spoiler over took it.
These were the days before Station Road was hindered by parked cars - so the road was perfectly clear for the 13 to continue up the road with the 194 on the opposite side, running alongside it.
The dual-door MK1 National on the 13 won the race.
