| Stagecoach vehicles in the Newcastle and South Shields areas in 2006, from several day trips to the area. |
First calling point on 7th February was Newcastle Central Station. Stagecoach 61008 is one of the Designline Olymbus electric buses. I find it very odd to travel in++ these buses - they are so quiet. 1080x810 Buy Print |
