North East Buses

Today was the first day of service S1 with MAX spare 1415 being allocated.

Went for a trip up to Teesside Park and had a quick look round the shops before catching the bus back to Stockton 30 minutes later. From what I saw it seemed to be carrying decent loads, so hopefully this service will hopefully be a success, hopefully it may even become popular enough to run on weekdays as well. I've seen posts on Arriva's Facebook about people wanting a service to Teesside Park from Middlesbrough so hopefully in future that could also maybe be a possibility.

7626 appears to have suffered some accident damage in Eldon Square this evening, looks like it's rolled into the bollards on a stand or something. Damage to the front of the vehicle; front panel dislodged and window screen cracked.

7626 is a cursed vehicle. It went into limp mode that day then that happens today.

Another bus has hit something at ES, see GNE Latest.
