In fairness, it was never said that there would be a bus present today, unsure if the area where the launch was today is able to accommodate a bus or not (I don't know Gosforth). Was the same when the X46 went MAX, there was just a person with a table of freebies in Crook Market Place on a market day.
The Facebook comments on the post for today's launch are quite a amusing read, it's a mix of enthusiasts pointing out that the buses aren't new and are actually 10 years old and of course and of course the people of Gosforth still ain't happy, mainly in regards to pollution and seem to think they are on the same level as London "The recent buses on these routes were shipped up from London where they were no longer allowed to operate under guidelines, so instead they choked our streets with them instead. If they were no good for London, they're no good for Gosforth" actual quote.
What has amused you/made you laugh today?
