North East Buses

An L&B minibus is currently on fire in Morpeth bus station.

It's one of their Ford Transits. How they've done that I don't know since Transits are probably one of the more duriable vans around.

Anyone know how much a 73 from Sunderland to Concord is for Under 18 and Over 18?

Doesn't the 37 operate between Concord and Doxford Park and isn't it operated by GCT, not Lambert and Butler Buses?

Sorry, I meant the 73.

37/73 are currently being run by L&B

Is the green e200 theirs as well?

So does anyone know the price for Under & over 18's for 73.

One can typically be found on Rural Link's service 104 in Bishop Auckland to/from Newfield & Ramshaw although Solo YB06VOM was on the other day.

Just be aware that L&B buses don't take contactless payments including those that have been on the 37/73 of late.

What a state this is. 

L&B owned according to the legal lettering (although working a GCT contract without an 'on hire' notice?), but it'll leave most people thinking that Go North East's standards have slipped.

I get that money in the public sector is tight with the current Government's fiscal policy, but I'd expect better when its tax payer money funding secured services like the 73.

Serviceable though. Probably quite SAFE too.

Probably more than can be said about the wall it looks like it's hit!
