College transport today was T408 JUX as per usual. At college we visited Amerton farm and did DX56 FYZ there and back. back home was old favorite M420 UEH.

As Matthew had nothing in his busy social calender for tonight, and he had been well behaved even at the bus rally. I decided to treat him with an extra trip out. I had already planned that he could get a bus to Blurton and back, going out on a D&G 22 and back on the 23A. Straight after his tea, I told him to put his shoes on cause we were going out. We walked the distance to the Magdalen Road stop and waited around 5 minutes for the 22. The bus turned the corner and was D&G



D&G 5 on the #22 Newcastle - Longton (Matt)

D&G 5 is one of the more modern CityRider liveried buses, and is fitted with seat belts. We did the short trip to the bottom of Blurton.

We crossed the road and walked up the road to the next stop towards Heron cross to wait for the 23A. Whilst waiting we saw 40003 heading towards Hanley. It mean if we choose and the 22 isn't required, in future we can do this bus instead. Eventually the 23A turned up with Optare Solo 40022.

We did this bus to Shepley Grove in Newstead. As it was quite dull Matthew was unable to get a good picture of the bus. Although we did try and race the bus to Ladybrook Grove to get another picture and only just failed! (Mark)
