I think the E200s aren't really suitable tor the Belmont 64 because, by their very nature, they fill up at one end with lots of people with several full bags and there's nowhere to put them other than on the seat, on the floor between your feet, or, as it ends up by the time it's filled up completely at Framwellgate Moor, precariously stacked all the way up to your chin, being clung onto so it doesn't end up landing on the ehad of the person in front.
I feel the 64 should have bigger buses full stop. Used to hate early finishes at college when it was Dart operated, used to love having buses fly past full of Framwellgate school kids unable to pick up us New College students and I bet the passengers at the other stops between Aykley Heads and Durham North Road feel the same because it flies past full of New College students.

Then had some smelly bloke brush past me.
There's was a gigantic moth on the window next to us on 6046, this afternoon, but that was pretty well behaved (and smelt a lot nicer than the guy sat two rows in front, who needed introducing to the idea of anti-perspirant)
