Thoroughly enjoyable today - had quite a lot of variety today, vehicles new and old from each of the big three. My ride on ANE 1405 stuck out as being one of the best - that bus has to be one of the best Pulsars I've ever been on. Also really enjoyed my ride of 4854, which is my favourite of the remaining Limes and probably a contender for being one of the best Volvo B10BLEs in the fleet (in my opinion). It has a whistle/squeal of sorts, and is quite speedy.
My photos will be online later - but I've got plenty of coach photos what with the Durham Festival thing being on!
Oh, I see!! No mention of 4852 (1998 - 2014) and it's grieving family in there! You MONSTER!
Nah, just kiddin' - after 4855, 4854 is one of my favourites too; always offered a nice ride!
