Take two...
... and following Sunday's cross-city challenge, decided to do it again. With an extra spur. On the way to work...
Got up to leave the house just after 0800, to see a DiscoveryLine (Services 28/29 to the rest of us) pulling out of the existing Albert Square stop. Anyway, got to Asda on 167 (Service 28) for about 0830. Put in 100 pics for printing, mostly for the photo sections of the next Dundee Bus Bulletin. Went over to McWalk-Through, mostly to kill time for an hour while my pics were being done. From there, went back for the pics, got on 168 on the 29 to Arbroath Road/Kemback Street again. Walk via Victoria Street this time, to see the ongoing roadworks here, and get on 173 on the 1B. See it at the lights, and manage to get across it by cutting across the path of a taxi driver. Like they wouldn't do the same if it was reversed...

Anyway, got off the 1B at the Stack Leisure Park, giving me time to return a couple of items to Tesco before getting on 141 on Service 12 to Menzieshill,then 147 on the 10X to work. Five buses on my Daysaver, before even making it to work! Made it with 20 minutes before my 1100 start time. The way home was somewhat more sedate with Gemini 10 on the 29 to Courthouse Square. Evening sights of the new Volvo/Wright Gemini double deckers are now becoming more common. It's cheaper to replace a broken (gasket) window in one of these, than one of those in the 122-151 series of Volvo/Wright Liberator single deckers... unless the front window goes of course...
