SunOp: Service 3,4,13,16 unable to get through Wheatsheaf Bay. Services diverting: Dame Dorothy St. Sorry for inconvenience.

Unsurprisingly, the "E" services are suffering from severe delays due to Roker sea front being closed off, as there is cancellation, after cancellation, after cancellation.

Speaking of the Wheatsheaf... Where's the bus shelters gone? There's just one temp bus stop now!

I noted that in yhe bus stop thread, i have no idea unless they making one big bus shelter.

Must have missed it - apologies!

I hope they do that, given that the GNE services have been listed as stopping at the stand closest to the green bridge for quite some time now, but some drivers seem to think that because you're not at the stand closest to Tesco (where they are also listed to stop), they can sail straight past...

It's fine, don't worry! =D

I would rather it be a long bus shelter.

Enroute to or from Smiles I would imagine.

Should be returning to Lincoln - it was on last period's fleet card as being at Smiles for engine development.
Strange to be having a stopping point so early.

Now now, you'll only get a private message Also 37143/144 are still delayed and should be soon hopefully next week. 22734 is back at Shields and is currently by the washer bank.

Providing moderators and administrators on the forum don't receive complaints, nobody will receive a PM from me about it..!

I noticed 22734 was back yesterday, and was told it in fact returned on Thursday, after being used in Newcastle on Wednesday.

It was used for 2 days at Slatyford.

Was it used on Tuesday too, or did it in fact return on Friday when I first saw it at the back of the depot (and hence also used on Thursday)? Mr. tyresmoke is in trouble if it's the latter!

It was indeed in use on Tuesday

Ta - I'd seen a photo from Wednesday, but not Tuesday.
