Here's the first of a few videos of some rides I managed during a stay overnight in Newcastle, this first video I ventured to Durham to capture one of these last remaining B7 ALX400s that's hanging on in service with Arriva North East

Here is ALX400 7422 serving the 6 to Cockfield from Durham Bus Station, 7422 was new to Arriva London in 2005 as VLA150 until moving from the capital down North to where it currently now lives, the driver was certainly not messing about absolutely flooring it giving this a lovely thrash towards Binchester

Sadly for these their time is near as withdrawal will soon seem inevitable

Enjoy.
