Today was a good day full of variety
08:25 4 39708 wheatsheaf stagecoach depot to Town end farm to sunderland john street
This journey was ok i planned to go to durham but so this across the road and couldn't resist, we got some kickdowns which were excellent. This proved much better than the 59 reg e200s that are oftern allocated.
09:30 Arriva Northern 156484 sunderland to newcastle
This is my favourite sprinter and for good reason.
This train gets amazing kickdowns and not DDA yet but had a diwnside today,there seemed to a loud noise which bugged me so personaly wasnt that enjoyable.
10:05 35 39703 pilgrim street to near haymarket
I walked up to pilgrim street in hope that the 35 would have a dart but unfortunately 39703 showed. Wasnt that bad as it was less than a 5 minute journey,better than some vehciles though.
10;14 54 7480 Haymarket to Gosforth High Street
I very much enjoyed this as we got a really good thrash but some what disappointed that 4512 got replaced by 7480 though as i believe its the only public service renown arriva have.
10:25 54 4520 Gosforth high street to haymarket bus station
This was excellent as i let 22025 go past i believed this was the best alx300 ive ever been on with its lovely thrash.
11:05 12 5235 Eldon Square to central station
This was just a quick ride i spent nearly 30 minutes hoping something good but a no show,so just got this and as we left 4896 appeared on the x31 which quite annoyed me.
11:30 Arriva Northern 156484 Newcastle to sunderland
This was next so got this much improved compared to tge the last journey on this,we boomed through fellgate and spot on time a really enjoyable journey.
11:52 9 4915 Fawcett street to Stadium of light metro
A nice journey upon this we had a lovely volvo roar,pity these will be leaving this was a nice hop
12:10 20A 4991 Stadium of light metro to Barnes park
A nice journey i noted it has a advertising picture for the new streetlights this was most eventful upon this bus.
13:20 18 39709 Barnes park to fullwell grange (Thompson road)
I was most impressed with this the driver was an enthusiast and was telling me 39706 has suffered engine failures and has been vor for atleast 2 month.
He also gave info about upcoming service information which i was aware of.
All in all a great day out most likely tommorow ill be using the 8x in south hylton and the 20s and hope last rides on cadets/renowns /dual doir renowns also.
Thank you for reading
