Due to a failed train, we are unable to run trains from South Hylton to Airport. We are currently trying to rectify the issue, however currently we will not be sending trains past Pelaw on the Sunderland line.

(16 Aug 2016, 6:28 pm)stagecoachbusdepot Seems bizaare that they have been able to source only seven buses across the NE given there should be more spares than usual as its the school holidays. Have to wonder how hard they have tried to find buses as even Stagecoach would have spares given the reduced PVR on the 1 for the summer, not to mention all of the displaced Enviro400s.

Last night it was all JH Coaches (not GNE as stated above) - presume it was JH again today?

They may have the vvehicles spare but drivers need to be sourced. They don't just appear

I can only guess it is to do with EDIM'S and making sure a good cross-section of the population take part.
There may be other reasons, but that one jumps out to me.

I have just found out there is an event at Whitley Bay Customer First Centre on Tuesday evening. The North Tyneside Transport Forum and Nexus are offering people the chance to get involved in the consultation there.

The Metro Leafbuster Train was powered by two Metrocars today since the Battery Locos were required for shunting in the depot.

Here the leafbuster is seen at Howdon heading back around the coast.
