My buttocks now hurt after spending an a hour on the Sapphire X21. Never hurt when ALX400s operated the route.
Go North East.
Angel Geminis are cold, stinking, damp pieces of horse shit.
309 takes a fucking age, next stop announcements said that I was in Cobalt for 20 minutes.
Snow.
It's snowing and I hate it.
Hail.
It was hailing and I hated it.
Greggs.
Thank you for the 10 minute queue. I missed loads of Blyth buses, ta.
Surprised you found the Sapphire E400s like that. The seating is essentially the same as what's in GNE's Gemini 2s, apart from a different material. I find that style of seating to be the most comfortable out there, apart from the Citaro seating.

The times I've used that or the X22 I've found that the seats in the older ones are a bit firmer than the new ones, 7532 (I know it's not Sapphire, but they're the same seats) was very comfortable for 3 and a half hours on Sunday.
I'd take a plastic 1ft high kids chair over the Urban90 seating in the Lowlanders. It's ridiculously uncomfortable, and I really don't know what whoever put the order in was thinking.
