(27 Sep 2014, 6:18 pm)Dan wrote Two South Hylton Metros in a row, followed by two South Shields ones.It didn't help me much either. Waited an absolute age for an X1 at the high level bridge, and nowt was coming across, so I ended up getting the 21 to Gateshead.
The first one was packed (must have been about 20 mins late), so I decided to wait the extra 3 mins for the next one. We get chucked off at Pelaw, and that buggers off back to the Airport! Timetable = non existent.
Bear in mind I'm wearing a thin white t-shirt and nothing on top of that - it's quite cold!
But don't worry, an old woman who had too much to drink has just made my day.
I did ask the driver of the 21 if he'd seen any X1s when he was at Eldon Square, but you'd think I'd been with his lass the way he spoke to me. Talk about service with a smile!
Police incident on the Metro further dampened my trip home, so once again I was waiting for a bus.
