RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - February 2018 - RBZ 5459 - 26 Feb 2018
(26 Feb 2018, 8:01 am)Tom Strange, 3968 and 5294 on Percy Main scholars.
Is 3968 a transfer?
Would guess a loan as it's SE fleet, looked to be working out of PM at the weekend heading along Coast Rd. SE fleet seem to be a floating reserve pot in reality, 3968 being recently at Chester and Deptford.

3968, 3975 and 3977 all currently based at Percy Main - not really a loan to Percy Main as such, as seven extra buses are required to operate the DFDS Seaways 327 service at the moment (which would have been how you saw it heading along the Coast Road at the weekend). This was always the intention for the Special Events buses - not to be reinstated as and when required on commercial services, like the recent examples at Deptford and Chester-le-Street.
Suspect 5294 is a wrong fleet number in ticket machine, if you spotted this on the app rather than in the flesh. Likely to be one of the SPEV Volvo B7s, possibly 3975, and the machine came off 5294 at some point in time without having fleet number changed when it was put back on another bus.
All should be back at Riverside this weekend I think, for the Metro Replacement contract between St James and Monkseaton via The Coast.

Roads are at a standstill round Consett. Someone on a local fb group has said a double decker has collided with a car on Blackhill bank. Hope everyone’s ok.
More than likely a red kite b9 unless an omnidekka is in use on 45/46’s
Further to last message, it was omnidekka 3996 that was the bus involved .

Haven't seen (or heard) a TEN through Corbridge since 7pm.
The roads through the centre of the village are trampled down hard and frozen already.
I've been told (by a private contractor with a Transit pickup) that the County Council gritter drivers have 'run out of hours' and he has been called in to deal with a wagon stuck on Leazes Lane in Hexham.
RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - February 2018 - Olympian3521 - 27 Feb 2018

I'm in fram, these days, and have barely heard a vehicle, never mind a bus, for a few hours.
RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - February 2018 - James101 - 27 Feb 2018
All fairly sensible, my car has fallen victim to someone overestimating their snow rally skills and is now sporting an Insignia shaped dent all down the offside
RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - February 2018 - Michael - 27 Feb 2018
A 56 left Newcastle at, 20:42pm coming back to the depot, and is just at Wessington Way now.

I live right next to GNE’s Hexham depot and haven’t heard any buses come past all evening and there’s no tracks on the road so not sure if they are leaving them at the bus station or somewhere else.

All services heading out this morning but will be sticking to main roads as much as possible, if you normally catch your bus from an estate please walk to a main road stop.

(28 Feb 2018, 9:08 am)TyneWearTeesGNE All buses from Houghton trying to get up Newbottle Bank.
How many are trying to get up? I would have thought control would have put the word about the bank... Maybe to send them a different way perhaps or consolidate loads to ensure vehicles were still operating on other sections of the route.
RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - February 2018 - Michael - 28 Feb 2018
Just passed Park Lane, there's just buses all over, parked up
There's about 5 Fab 56's and about 4 "The 9" Citaro's
