(13 Nov 2015, 9:53 am)Andreos1 Sniperly was heaving when I drove in to Durham.
That was at the end of the rain and still relatively early.
At that point, there were still plenty of people in the city centre. So it could have been the lull before the storm.

(13 Nov 2015, 9:58 am)BusLoverMum That storm probably called an end to the evening for a lot of people! There were a couple standing idle and empty on the bridge when we walked across it before the rain hit, though.

(13 Nov 2015, 10:06 am)Andreos1 We had a tactical tea at the Chester Moor, knowing the rain would subside and thinking we could get into Sniperley and on to a P&R (with a bit of Garnetts to add) once the even opened up to those without tickets.
One look at Sniperley and the number of cars parked there, meant a quick change of plan.
Ended up parking on South Street (with its views of the castle and cathedral) with no bother at all.
Those at Sniperely must have been among the ones who stopped out, cos it was still busy in Durham after 2000.
Saw a Consett bus rammed to the rafters at that time.
Noticed the Garnetts buses stopping between the Milburngate Bridge and the Leazes Bowl stops.

Should we forgive them for spelling Sniperley wrong given that they had to fit it all onto a destination of that size?

(23 Oct 2015, 1:37 pm)R852 PRG Garnetts Coaches have retired Leyland Olympian CUB69Y and Leyland Titan HVX771T, both of which have worked for the company since 1996. They will be departing for Ensign Bus of Purfleet this evening, following their last scholars service. The Titan has been sold for preservation while the Olympian has yet to find a home.

There are several Garnetts double deckers currently parked in the Arriva depot at Ashington. I'm presuming this has something to do with the Blyth Tall Ships event.

Many operators approach Arriva to store their vehicles in their depots, especially if it's to stop wasted mileage travelling to and from their home depot. Operators who I've observed doing this at Ashington over the years are Phoenix and Glen Valley.
I'm unsure as yet why they're using Ashington depot, but it's possibly for the Tall Ships event.
