There was another bus spotter at Blaydon also but I didn't speak to him but can back me up on the above about the Geminis.
There was also quite a few odd workings aswell today, I'll have a list of them put up in a bit.
Adam, they are not going back to Ireland but getting worked on here also the reason why the voice is not working is that it has not been recorded yet, the vehicles have everything fitted.
