It's not bad, because that £1 will get you there, and back to the bus station which will be handy if you've got shopping.

I'll be getting a 3 Zone+ Buzzfare, which will cost me over £7, I don't mind walking up as it's only a 5 Minutes Walk from the Shopping Area.

Yeah I will be using the 50, I was also planning on going to Consett/Stanley to catch the Ventures and the Yellow Oympians, Basically killing 2 words with one stone.

Stanley had the Nexus branded MPD on the 452/968 combo this morning.
Not sure if it was still doing the same shift this afternoon.

It sustained £15,000 worth of damage but is repairable. It was due to the driver excessing the speed limit so he is been made to pay some or all of the costs.

Does anyone have any info for this rtc?

It sounds as though it was pretty serious, to cause that much damage

It was on its way back to the Depot after finishing its run on the 14. At the S-Bend in Langley Park it went round the first one and as the driver was above the speed limit didnt manage to go round the second one and instead went head-on into a lampost.

Good job there wasn't anything coming the other way nor anyone hurt - apart from the drivers pride!

I know. Im suprised the driver still has his job. It doesnt take much to set the Scotts off.

2 of 3 ex-Yourbus electric solos are in the Stanley Travel depot. They have been stripped of their Lindisfarne Gospels panel branding but still have the top half over the windows. However, they cant do a full shift as the trip from Stanley to Durham, the days shift and back to Depot is approxiately 70 miles and the battery charge lasts for 65 miles. Therefore, a driver needs to take the 3rd one through to displace one that will then go to Stanley to be charged. They will then take it back down to Durham and displace the other one leaving 2 well-charged up buses for the rest of the day. Very awkward i must say.

Do you know what sort of charge time they have?
Haven't checked it out, but Durham - Hetton mustn't be too much different mileage wise as Durham - Stanley.
Wonder how Yourbus managed it?

Yourbus used to change one vehicle at lunchtime, the other one had less mileage on its diagram so I believe used one vehicle all day.
