Today i began on 4909 running service 99 i was very pleased as these beasts can do fantastic speeds well after alighting at seaburn metro i so a goods train i think 66735 was pulling it i then checked the board to find a 30 minute wait i didnt want to wait that long so ended up waiting for either the 23 or the e2 not long after 36462 passed with an e2 to south shields then thankfully my bus arrived in the form of 27729.
The ride was lovely had excellent movement when i arrived into park lane nothing unusual but did see 542 preparing to start the 38 to rainton bridge after that i went to sunderland station and awaited the northern train to my delight one of my favorite pacers 142064 turned up with 142024 at the back i was thrilled with this turnout i bought my ticket and took notes on the journey.
We shortley after arrived into seaham were i headed to strangford road to await the first bus to the awfulness i just missed a red mpd on service 238 so
Had to bear with 5370 it seemed ok with no problems i did notice however the next stop annoucements not working.
At seaham i took some photos of mainly drifters and one wear tees express soon after i boarded 662 i planned to ride this up to dalton park but on route so 4925 performing service 60 so alighted near to dawdon buisness park.
After allowing 661 to pass 4925 arrived i was very pleased as i good go to parkside and back we got good speeds which was a delight at the byron place i awaited the 238 to my delight 562 was on this service very pleasing journey passed 573 on route so at the station i walked to strangford road and caught 573 to the mill inn very good fun.
I planned to get the 61 to dalton park then the 202 but missed the 61 so had to get 5372 which was alright every thing in good working order at seaham caught 654 which was full to its nees to strangford road i then got 142064 again very happy and pleased with this .
Fancied a trip to stagecoach depot to see what was in my chariot there was 28040 a nice ride this was ok to journey upon after sighting just a e200 and several gas buses i awaited the next bus which was 27740 with its leather seats proved ok and was just fine.
After having some lunch i boarded 8324 upto grangetown i liked this vehcile as i always seem to be giving a 09 reg or a rear worker when on the 2s at grangetown missed 34605 on the 19 which was awful and had to bear 36967 this was ok but spoilt by a man asking the driver if he went to seaburn and after several minutes he finaly took note of what the driver said and to use the 18 or 19 i alighted at sunderland and got the metro back.
A good day but wasnt excellent
