First thing that came to my mind was missing the comfort of Steve Hurst's E200, Running on time every time, And not 30 mins early as this LDV was running.
Surprised you had time to get a drink and I dread to think how it ended up running half an hour early, when I did the 16 loop in its first week it left Rothbury 5 minutes early.
It's certainly a big difference in the standard of quality of service provided and its such a shame.
Didn't you have a Ford Transit on the M1 after that?
