RE: What's annoying you today? V4

Went to try and get some photos of the Blue Arrow brand, only photo I had gotten before today was 4971 operating on the 19 on Wednesday.
With a full day off I attempted to get some.
First 11 that I went to Photograph at the skew bridge on Shields Road between Wallsend and Walkergate, B7TL number 6023 turned up.
Second one was a Blue Arrow but annoyingly my camera didn't get the shot.
Third 11 I went to get was in Lobley Hill. Suprisingly Trident 3888 turned up.
Fourth 11 was in the same location, and blue B7TL 6034 turned up (least it was the right colour I suppose).
Fifth and Sixth 11 attempt was in East Howdon where they are due to pass. Both were red B7TLs, these being 6025 and 6023 (again).
Seventh 11 attempt in North Shields I couldn't park my car in time to get the photo.
Eighth and final 11 attempt of the day I finally managed to get Blue Arrow Solar 4968 in Preston Grange Estate.
On the plus side, managed to photograph everything Phoenix had out on Nexus Bus services.
Scrub that last thought, looks like I'm going to have to reattempt a W2 shot, as the photo of the vehicle on the W2 at Whitley Lodge had W3 on the blind.
Wonder what's up with all the Solars?
