(07 Jul 2017, 3:04 pm)Michael Sad news today, Bradley Lowery has died.


My brave boy has went with the angels today 07/07/17 at 13:35, in mammy and daddies arms surrounded by his family.

He was our little superhero and put the biggest fight up but he was needed else where.

There are no words to describe how heart broken we are.

Thank you everyone for all your support and kind words.

Sleep tight baby boy and fly high with them angels.

So sad, genuinely devastated for his family...

He captured everybodies hearts and always seemed to just get on with it.

Just seen this intetview from Jermain Defoe from yestetday, the emotion he must be feeling just 24 hours later must be awful

Bradley will always be in my heart - Defoe

I never watched it because it was on ITV, which is becoming very similar to 5. Explains why I've never heard of her.

I was as happy as a pig in shit on Saturday got married and this beautiful vehicle was my transport...

At one point I thought it wasn't going to make it up the Church Bank in Murton with a full load, struggling to get to 10mph...

Thanks guys...

The could not have gone better, exactly how I wanted it to go...

Marrying the girl of my dreams and watching my gorgeous (step)daughter being one hell of a bridesmaid.

I have even won over my mother-in-law and actually saw her crying at one point, to hear her say she was proud of me actually stunned me as she once quite openly said she wanted me dead and we did not get on for nearly a year...So once she realised I wasn't going anywhere, I won her over...

Also hearing her Dad say he felt like he 'gained a son'

I know I was wanting a Routemaster as transport, but once the Tiger Cub, it was perfect

Yeah, it was perfect, only problem was it struggled to carry a full load up the church bank in murton and trying to get round a mini-roundabout at the back of Dalton Park was tough as it, of course, had no power steering lmao

The GNE fb used to be a great source of entertainment or exasperation (depending on your stance) but it seemed to have improved.

I had a look on the page today for something and noticed some old faces had reappeared offering 'words of wisdom'.

Please, please, please can we have members of staff who know routes and don't have to rely on a computer to provide answers?
I appreciate it is probably not possible to know all service numbers or routes - particularly when they change with such regularity, but this is just poor.

It seemed strange they didnt suggest walking/using the bus mere metres across the roundabout to Pelton (or even Chester) to pick up an 8 there..

It seems even stranger they would suggest getting the 28 to somewhere it doesnt go. Apart from that special detour you mention Wink

(29 Jul 2017, 3:56 pm)Charles41 Quite frankly I found it very disappointing. I alighted from the E2 took a quick look and headed back into Sunderland. The NNRG vehicles looked excellent as always. Hopefully they'll be a better turnout on Sunday. Perhaps if the NEBPT organise such events they might like to bring some buses in future other than the static routemaster.

On a good note I got some good photos of coaches carrying Celtic fans and caught the gas double decker home. Five nil come on.

Any footage of the fighting that went on? Some of the stuff on twitter showed some terrible scenes.
