Bus Related Outings and Reviews - R852 PRG - 20 Jan 2015

@Jimmi - if you go for it, I look forward to seeing some EYMS stuff on your Flickr. Smile


RE: Bus Related Outings and Reviews - Jimmi - 20 Jan 2015

Think I'll just do Whitby tomorrow.

Will do Scarborough and possibly Bridlington and Filey in the summer.


RE: Bus Related Outings and Reviews - Jimmi - 21 Jan 2015

Sorry to ask but, does anyone know how the X93, 4/X4 are running and is there much snow on the route.

Can't look on the live map on my phone because Arriva don't have the app on the Windows Phone so I have to use the browser and it's pretty much unusable but from what I could see they are running on-time. My parents don't want me to go as there has been a TINY bit of snow here.

Might get an Explorer tomorrow.

Will get the 71 (last day!) from my house to Houghton then go from there.

Quick question - I've never used an Explorer on the Metro before, can someone explain to me how I use it?

Isn't there like ticket barriers or something, how do I use it is what I'm asking. Smile

Show the ticket to the metro person at the gates.

To be fair, why don't you just get a Tyne and Wear Day Rover, and pay 90p on the 71?

Might fancy a trip up to Stanley and Consett afterwards for some Olympians.

I will definitely be taking my camera, and hopefully will take some photos too.

Remember Marcus, photography is not permitted on Metro and you have to fill in a form. Tongue


RE: Bus Related Outings and Reviews - Tom - 24 Jan 2015

Think I may head over to Sunderland today. Possibly.

Gotta do something - bright blue skies today!


RE: Bus Related Outings and Reviews - omnicity4659 - 24 Jan 2015

I love blue skies! I've only got 2 1/2 hours with my rest bite workers so I've got to stay local. Ugh.

Sorry for pulling you up on spelling, do you mean Respite Worker Smile


RE: Bus Related Outings and Reviews - omnicity4659 - 24 Jan 2015

That's the one, Fozz! Could never spell it correctly! Bloody useless today, standing around moaning about the cold.

It has came to my attention that a certain Bus Enthusiast with dark hair and flashy camera, took it upon himself to invade my territory today whilst photographing the Mercs on there last day on the 2A/2C, This person was caught red handed by ones mother as she walked down the street to get the Bus, hmmm I wonder who it could be.

Was this bus enthusiast with dark hair and a flashy camera also munching on a Big Mac and a Toffee Honeycomb McFlurry? Tongue

Had a feeling it was you when my mother gave the description, as for the Big Mac and Toffee Honeycomb McFlurry I have zero idea, doubt it though as she seen you at the bottom of Lambton taking this photo - https://www.flickr.com/photos/danielgrahamm/16355419972/

For 5327! Tongue

When I was planning where to get my photographs, I realised that this was the only place (besides The Galleries) that I could photograph 5327 in full sun. Low sun means I have to plan around open spaces - Lambton serving as a good example! Big Grin

Oh I thought he was on about Bazza. Tongue Tongue
