Went around today..
10:09 57 Fewster Square to Gateshead Interchange (GNE 5321)
I was originally planning to get the 58, but got this as it came before the 58. It was a nice ride, seemed a bit more quicker than some of the other citylink citaros.
11:00 X24 Gateshead High Street to Sunderland Fawcett Street (SNE 24001)
Decided to give this service a go and I must say that the journey was fast and great. At the time I boarded with my friend, there was only about 4 other passengers on. The seats were comfortable and the legroom at the emergency exit was great! Must use this service again in the future and hope to see an increase in passenger numbers.
12:47 21 Newcastle Eldon Square to Durham Bus Station (GNE 6058)
Was going to get the X21 to have another ride on a StreetDeck, but 6135 turned up so I just went to get the 21 instead. I quite liked this one and hope to see myself using these hybrids more in the future.
15:35 21 Durham Bus Staion to Gateshead Interchange (GNE 6061)
Yet again I wanted to get the X21 but I didn't realise that the driver actually done a loop around the station so annoyingly I ended up boarding this thinking that the X21 left the station. This one seemed pretty sluggish up hills but was an ok ride.
16:37 57 Gateshead Interchange to Fewster Square (GNE 5296)
Took this one home after a tiring day in the rain. Had a comfortable ride back home on this and looking forward to seeing what these look like after refurbishment.
I quite enjoyed my day out and took a few photos with my phone... Should hopefully be getting a camera for my birthday tomorrow...
Thanks for reading.
