More to come in a few days, maybe some coaches and some more modern Go-Ahead stuff

I love the way the buses enter Worswick Street Bus Station, the worlds busiests bus station.

My uncle worked on the buses for 40 years, and my father was a bus driver for 25 years. So you can lick your own arse mate.

The only one of these I ever drove was the one that had had the cab set back following a bridge "incident". It had appalling steering because of the modified linkages, and one depot after another "blacked" the thing. Later, I believe, they called it the Tynesider or Wearsider and rented it for bus-enthusiast days out.

I never drove the unmodified RTM, so can't comment on that.

Tried for years to find a picture of the old Durham North Road bus station to see if I remembered it correctly. Thanks for posting.

Memories to my father who worked out of Chester-le-Street depot in the 60s&70s -x

Your talking out of your arse

An RTM is a double decker bus. These are not routemasters.
