Trying to place, or is 'forget', the Metroriders? I can recall Loftus having them for their town routes and occasional sorties on the longer routes. Interesting that there is a new management team in at Redcar; it's had problems for years ! Just speak to some of the older drivers.
I didn't know there are 15 Prestiges at Stockton? Can bring half a dozen to recall but then I'm struggling? Hope someone is going to take one into preservation?
And whatever you do with running times, for whatever service, there are going to be issues aren't there? It is interesting to read what you say, it's sometimes useful to be able to answer the critics!!
