@rhys_stirling Bet when you guys checked your bank account, it was in minus figures 😂 nice to see another ex SCNE beast preserved

[TJ 🏳️‍🌈 @TeessideBusNerd]

@misterdotjay Oh yeah! And it’ll be a case of watch this space 😉

[TJ 🏳️‍🌈 @TeessideBusNerd]

@misterdotjay I think the owner wants to be prepared as there’s several of us who’ll be joining who already have PCV licenses already to allow for buses to be driven from day 1 just in case we get a contract etc

@megabusuk Caused me to miss a bus I had to catch and ended up having to wait 45 mins for the next one! Bet you won’t even offer any compensation for it either 😡

Also can’t forget that if allocations prove me right, I’ll be sampling a brand new Volvo 9700DD on my overnight M20 from VCS to John Dobson Street in Newcastle tonight

Day 1 done of this 2 (and a bit) day trip done. Now London bound today while hoping my @megabusuk M42 is 54202, or I’m able to be able to photograph it having missed the chance to photograph an Elitei Interdeck in the specialist variant of the local livery yesterday

Hop on the new X40/X41 express service in Teesside, connecting you to Wynyard Park! For more info go to

Great to see advertising for the new RP1 and X40/X41, which are funded by the TVCA and operated by @StagecoachNE

Guarantee I’ll get someone saying “the advert posters have been there a while, and the services have been running for a month now” though 😂

@busboynat @busboyjordan Are you sure you’re a bus driver? You look too happy for the job! 😂

[TJ 🏳️‍🌈 @TeessideBusNerd]

@msando50 @darloscott NYCC have asked for big buses to operate Services 80/89 from what I’ve been told

[TJ 🏳️‍🌈 @TeessideBusNerd]

We on Friday yet?!

Back out on 80/89s again today! A run that I didn’t believe was easy enough when @darloscott said 😂 and yes we are taking good care of your passengers! 😂😂

Well that’s the 70 & X70 done and dusted, surprisingly, although there were a couple road closures thrown at us to test us on the first day of taking over from @Reliancebus and surprisingly remembered the route round Rainton and got Thornton-le-Moor in one go too

[Best Impressions @creatingdesire]

Helped by the Best Impressions base livery it’s still wearing 😋

[TJ 🏳️‍🌈 @TeessideBusNerd]

Keep up the great work @Dan3942

[Dan Graham @Dan3942]

Another day done… Shining inside and out after a bubble bath, all prepared for Day 3 of @My_Metro replacement bus services tomorrow..! Good to get back to the brilliant basics. 🧼 💫

[TJ 🏳️‍🌈 @TeessideBusNerd]

@misterdotjay @liamhall24 @gonortheast I second that 😅

[TJ 🏳️‍🌈 @TeessideBusNerd]

With @FirstYork retiring their remaining 2 bendys this weekend after 21 years of having bendys in service (16 years of the BG58 CitaroGs with 2 at York and several with @FirstAberdeen I believe), I’ve took it upon my All York Day ticket to bash them while I can

[TJ 🏳️‍🌈 @TeessideBusNerd]

@ThompsonCJ91 @FirstYork @FirstAberdeen I will! Train home isn’t until 18:46 so got around 6 hours to enjoy myself

[TJ 🏳️‍🌈 @TeessideBusNerd]

@ThompsonCJ91 @FirstYork I spy myself looking in your direction!
