I find it absolutly disgraceful that you did not correctly note the bus that you got on the 300N....what kind of enthusiest are you?

Well excuse me for not having a top notch memory, I didn't look at my book while I was typing that comment, I was trying to stay on topic by adding the few buses that I could remember by hand that I rode today, excuse me for not remembering them all. Look, I'd delete it or re-type it in correctly for you but for some reason I CAN'T EDIT MY POSTS

[Sylvan Loves Buses]

what kind of enthusiast are you?

Certainly not your kind, that's for sure... I'm a new breed of bus enthusiast, a kind you wouldn't understand (or at least have a hard time understanding).

BLUE - indicates a bus that is on my mind of buses I hadn't yet caught this year.

Bus Tracking Stats (aka highest priority buses to ride):
This mornings buses on mind - 913, 949, 955, 970, 973, 150
Now - 913, 955, 970, 973, 104, 108, 110, 119, 377, 381, 386

RED - I saw this bus, but was unable to ride it

Today officially marks me riding all Darts that are still in service for this year. (any that were decommissioned during the year that I did not know about are excluded)

I guess 919 isn't withdrawn as tentatively suggested on fleetwiki, at least yet.

So little variety out on weekends these days..I only saw 3 Gas buses amongst the sea of diesel MANs and diesel Scanias - of which, 382 was the only MAN Gassie! I miss the days there were Irises, PR100.3s and PR100.2s out on weekends too - especially the Mark I's!

An IRIS was out on the weekend about 2 weeks back on training
