Ah. So just one AM and two PM journeys now on the 941?

Thanks for the info.

From 30th January, Go North East are operating all 941 trips apparently, with A-Line currently operating 1 of the 4.

Been announced by local MP and timetable on Nexus

The Nexus website says the service will be paid for by Nexus unlike the C4 which seems to be operating without subsidy.

The timetable is in the South Tyneside section.

Just a bit of advice, never rely on Quack77, it's unreliable, as an understatement.

Time to address the elephant in the room.....

For those who weren't aware, the case involving Daniel Annis concluded yesterday with his sentencing hearing.





Whilst there'll be other enthusiast sites who'll be burying their heads in the sand, not wanting to report this for whatever reason, I feel those who deserve to be named and shamed, need to be named and shamed.

If anyone feels that this the inappropriate thread to post this, then please report me to any moderator who'll take the appropriate action by either moving or deleting the post.

Disappointing not to see a longer sentence, but at least it's a custodial.

I think this will naturally raise questions about vetting, DBS checks and how it was able to happen. I've seen posts suggesting that he was working contract services, right up to his first reported court appearance in late 2022.

On the latter point, I agree, and it surprised me when I read that he was able to attend Seaburn Rally in 2024 with a bus. Given it was commonly known then, if he wasn't turned away at the door, perhaps those around him should have strongly encouraged him to leave. It shouldn't have taken the Police to attend.

I always found it odd that Durham scholars required an enhanced DBS that Tyne & Wear did not.

What a riveting read.

On this point, whilst public judgement should ideally be reserved on the premise of innocence until proven otherwise, with cases like this, I don't think it is unreasonable for groups, trusts, and charities to exercise caution and put some precautionary safeguards in place, particularly when the person in question has had their then-alleged misdeeds exposed in an online paedophile sting!!

Those who continued to invite him to participate in rallies or events after his initial court appearance in late 2022 (or wherever it was) have, at best, shown very poor judgement, especially when you consider children often attend these events.

Typing the company into Google suggests that they have "permanently closed" although I can't confirm if that is indeed the case or not.

Their Facebook page has disappeared, notably when allegations were first reported, the original Facebook account disappeared with a new account appearing a short while after (the latter now gone). Unsurprisingly when up, the comments were turned off.

I was sat behind a ALine Versa on the Redheugh Bridge this morning heading towards Newcastle.

Wish I had found out sooner, as my grandchildren rode his bus everyday, should have had his nuts cut off!
