Been a busy day. My highlight would certainly have been a long-overdue ride on the classic Spectra. Would have to do so again, sometime before withdrawal. Bummed it wasn't 4001/4002 - though 4008, when put through it's paces, is a really nice bus. Good thrash, on multiple occasions. ;) On an overview of my journey(s) today; 6 of the 9 journeys were spent on an E400, 4 (buses) of which were Trident E400s, one was an ADL, and the other an ADL MMC - If you'll ask me, they're doing a good job maintaining/updating their fleet. Aside from the sick on 4313.  :P
