Not sure where to put this, but when does the Toon Tour commence again? Eager to see LIG9116 in service.

There is a private tour operating in Newcastle on Monday next week.

5384 on the peak angel to Brandon. Driver to his credit loads as many as possible.

It then blows its coolant all over Gateshead interchange. The following angel is full whilst an Angel streetdeck carries fresh air passing on the 93

Some actual wing mirror issues on 3964 on the 21 this afternoon. The driver took about 5 minutes trying to get it to his liking prior to leaving Eldon Square, and continued to fiddle with it at Gateshead. From tracking he looks to have given up there as it's been replaced by 6954.

The last couple of times I've been on it, it has been a Tyne Valley Ten branded vehicle. The driver looked perplexed when I stated 'Bute Arms' as my destination.

If I was in that situation, I'd have said 
'well thank you. I've stepped up the lifting recently' and then admire them. Maybe even rolling my sleeve up to look at them from a different angle.

Has 6352 had cream vinyl applied to the front panel to cover over the old style GNE logo or has the panel been replaced?

Flammable wing mirrors

I can't be entirely sad about an Omnidekka going - it's just depressing it'll be replaced by more London that that can't get above 15mph on the climb to Gateshead Interchange

There was an angel streetdeck going past the University Hospital of Durham and I drove past and it was particularly smokey at the back

RE: Go North East State Of The Fleet
I see whoever wrote the awful comms during the strike has kept their job with this corker 'serious thermal incident' 

Go North East business director, Ben Maxfield said: "We are aware of a serious thermal incident involving one of our vehicles today. No injuries occurred as a result of the incident, and we can confirm that the driver and all passengers were safely evacuated. We are now initiating a comprehensive investigation to determine the underlying cause of the incident.'

It always makes me laugh when they bring out terms like this. You've had a fire lads, everyone can see it.  

Can guarantee the driver didn't ring for the Serious Thermal Incident brigade.
