What's annoying you today? V3 - Jimmi - 06 Jun 2015
Why the hell did I decide to go to Ashington again, it's a ****hole and that's putting it politely.

I felt the same way when me and Lee went

Your opinions don't count, though, Davie. You slagged Durham off! [emoji14]

Go to Morpeth and Bedlington instead, more variety, less err, Ashington-ness

Had litter and wood chippings blind me!

It's because they're squeezing two seats where there is normally only one set. Apart from the newer E400's I'm pretty sure all older ones with two at the front have disgraceful legroom.
At least you're leaving Ashington!

Mind, you're brave... Heading to Morpeth at this hour when you've got to get back to Aycliffe! Marcus wants to learn a trick or two from you.

I could teach Marcus some things about outings should see what I've done today. Probably never going to do as much as you have done in the past, I highly doubt you'll be seeing me getting shots of GNE night services such as the N21 as I'd have to stay out all night and into the next morning.

I had intended to go to Durham at 16:00, making my way back to Sunderland via the 24 and 22 route, but that went out the door when I started yawning at 12:00...
Didn't even bother staying out for the second OmniDekka as it involved a half hour long wait in Newcastle... I've walked a fair bit today though, in the first part of my outing!

Last Saturday I walked up that hill leaving Beamish Museum that you (think it was you) were moaning about before and I got up there with ease although I often do level 20 on the hill mode on the treadmill at the gym.
I will be honest I thought I was going to fall asleep on the X20 to Ashington.

Well I moan about just about anything, but I'm not guilty for that one: it was Marcus!
I have walked a sufficient distance today... As attached.

It's good exercise for you

We all know I love a good moan...
Was annoyed to see a MAX E400 enter Morpeth Bus Station only to find its the one on the 35!

Ever heard of a place called Fifth Avenue? Worse than the entire of Ashington combined.
We've got more charity shops, tat shops and pawnbrokers than Blyth...!

Also, I agree. Much prefer DARLINGTON.

Yes, the town centre is a pain to get photos in, but some of the journeys operated are cracking, with some of the best scenery around. Mind you, it's been a while since I've been to any of the other regions bus stations, interchanges or random collection of badly placed bus stops as a passenger so maybe I'm being deluded!

It's just the poor stand layout that really irritates me in the town centre and sometimes it can be a pig for photos due to light and pedestrians walking in front of the camera although you get that other places as well. You are right about routes from Darlington that have good scenery I'd strongly recommend the X75/X76 and Scarlet Band 84 and I think there may be some other good routes as well.

I used to like the old United bus garage and station at Feethams. Very handy for spotting. I was in Darlo last week and noticed it has now been demolished. You used to be able to get a direct bus from Newcastle to Darlo but now you have to change at Durham.
I like that there is an Arriva service that drops you off right outside their Faverdale garage. Saves a lot of walking!

722/723 was that the service jointly operated by United/Arriva and Northern???
Used to use it a lot when I lived in Durham and the 724 when I lived in Spennymanure and Bishop Auckland all the time
