I wonder if, with the services being contracted, GNE are letting Nexus themselves advertise the changes to those services? Doesn't harm to put the changes on their own website, though.

I may be going completely bonkers there but that is the only real reason that I can think of.

I think I went a bit too adventurous with it though, I done one full journey from Whitley Bay to Lobley Hill to get that photo, A good 1 and 45 Mins or something at 25 Mph.
I also did Lobley Hill to Metrocentre on the service afterwards, After I got the photo.

I advise anyone not to do the full route without a break!

The only buses he was excited to see (and travel on) today were the Angels. He's developed a big obsession with the ANGELOFTHENORJ!!!!!!

You can probably guess where the first place was that we stopped off, today Big Grin

Don't think I could have a sense of adventure by spending that long on one bus, especially a Solar Tongue

I would I had some sense of adventure today, was out for 12 and a half hours today, getting all the Phoenix stuff although I struggled to hold that after spending well over an hour at Kingston Park as the Stagecoach service 6 turned up about 25 minutes late! Dodgy
