Though back when I was 3 ( Some 10 years ago now! ) my mam would take me to Durham on the 50 and it was mostly Lolynes back then mixed with a few Prestige's.
We went all the way, yep. Easy for me because I had a good signal, the whole route. Not been past the Galleries on it, before. Did some sight seeing of old haunts through Washington (long before you, or big'un, who was 2, 10 years ago, were thought of. Around the time Jimmi was a baby, if anything!). Mostly boarded up or demolished!
We got to Shields, legged it to Debenhams for the loo, then caught the Metro into Newcastle because I was hungry and not in the mood to hang around!
