Only another 50 minutes until I reach Durham [emoji31]
One of the second hand ones...
Not the best internally but I think it's fast enough by what I can recall? Been a while since I was last on it - 4992 seems to be the one I regularly get out of the second hand examples.

On the plus side though I got a photo of 4961 on service X1.

Did you have a go of the radiator valves?
One of the front seats, has radiator valves right next to it - just like you would have on the radiator at home.

Was busy too, probably because it was late!

Decided to get the X1 to Washington and just missed a late running 50 [emoji35]
The next 50 better not be 15 minutes late like it was or I will go mad. Sadly I am aware of the reliability of the 50 so I better try and keep myself calm.

I quite like it, with it being different from the native examples.
From a passenger/ride quality point of view - it has seen much better days.

Could always hop on the 8 to Chester le Street instead.

Just heading past the Arnison Centre on the 50 now, thankfully pretty much on-time.

4991 is my ride to town - not 4992 as is the norm!
This one is certainly alright in terms of ride quality and its buggy/wheelchair bays have had their seats re-trimmed. Sadly the bars aren't looking in the best condition.

Could see traces of green paint on 4990.

Add me to the list.
I'd personally recommend Three to anyone considering changing their mobile operator. I think I may have done in the past.

I used to have a dongle for the Internet on three and most of the time it worked well.
Although my dad and sister both had contracts for mobile phones on three and they often struggled to get any mobile signal most places on three so now their contracts have ended they have both gone elsewhere.

I have both a dongle and a mobile phone with Three.
Being out in the sticks a lot of the time, I find my Three reception is usually good. There are some places, like Allenheads for example, where you can't get a signal. But in all fairness, I've been unable to get a signal in Allenheads with EE/Orange so I guessing it's just one of those places where all signals are poor. I'm out in the sticks quite often in my job, I'm often surprised where I can get signal to be honest.

It really is strange as some can have no problems while others have endless problems on the same network.

Walked from Lambton to Harraton to Photograph the Drifter Streetlite on the 2, and a Versa showed up bang on the time I timed the Streetlite to show up, so I immediately thought it had been replaced and started walking back home, and just as I am walking past Makro what bloody passes me 5 Minutes Later, you bloody guessed the friggen Streetlite.

Gutted.
