I'm informed by one of my colleagues there was one parked up in Peterlee yesterday afternoon with a noticeable dent in the side Seem to be pretty reliable though in that I've not seen anything else in Middlesbrough yet. Managed to pinch passengers in Peterlee for Wingate and Station Town while on 21A today!
A wrong turn was taken in Middlesbrough, I hear from my mum who was on the service at the time. She was the only passenger and had to reverse, so my mum had to guide her.
I won't give direct quotes because they're offensive to a particular ethnic group, but the driver wasn't too keen on some people who were 'gorping', 'awaiting a crash'.
