Mon - Travelled accross on the 685, was delayed heavily into Carlisle and missed my connection to Workington, so stayed in Carlisle and did the City services plus a run up to Bowness on Solway on a Merc.
Tue - Made my connection, went to Workington and Whitehaven. Returned via Keswick. Another breadvan ride from Keswick to Carlisle.
Wed - Went up to Dumfries, managed to get permission to visit the Stagecoach depot. Returned to Carlisle via Lockerbie.
Thur - Went to Carlisle on 685. Caught train to Lancaster. Then caught bus from Lancaster to Blackpool. Stayed at B&B near Rigby Road depot.
Fri - Went to Manchester via Preston.
Sat - Headed home from Blackpool via Preston, Lancaster, Keswick, Carlisle to Newcastle.
Sun - Did a return trip from Wallsend to Bowness on Solway on the AD122.
Did the AD122 used to go to Wallsend like?
