There was a photo somewhere else on a facebook group and a lass who lived in Penshaw commented on how when she was younger, her and a friend rode all the way to Easington Lane (using bus stops as a guide) on their bikes to see what was there as that was where all the buses went to!

Hopefully the disapointment of getting to 'the Lane' and seeing what was there, wasn't too much for them

Picking up on your comment on memories, does anyone think in 20 years time, a photo of a Versa working the 39 will evoke as many memories as this National on the 194?
