SS Ops: Regretfully due to horrendous road conditions in South Tyneside and Sunderland no services will operate for the foreseeable future, conditions will be checked continuously and as soon as we feel it is safe to do so services will resume.
However
The 23 in Sunderland seems to be running, 2nd one of the day has just gone past mine.
Newcastle
Many diversions in place

Just got off the 16 and the driver said, they weren't serving Springwell or Grindon and was only using the main roads.

(27 Feb 2018, 7:16 pm)Michael The roads aren't even that bad, its a joke, 30 years ago we wouldn't have this over reaction, its a bloody joke.
Totally agree.
(27 Feb 2018, 10:35 pm)OrangeArrow49 How are would-be passengers supposed to get around when bus operators stop running their services?
Quite concerning people could be stranded by operators terminating services early, or not running in bad weather conditions in the first place meaning people can't travel.
Well said. No wonder public transport is dying a death.

(27 Feb 2018, 11:00 pm)BusLoverMum That 15 years ago is probably the time I caught a bus from Gateshead to Hartlepool and the bus home was a no show, cistico me £23 in taxi fare.
And autocorrect is being an arse on here, tonight. No problems elsewhere.
That seems like a bargain taxi fare for that sort of distance!

Taxis were a lot cheaper back then. I had to keep an emergency £20 on me to get home to thornley from Durham!

Paid not much less, for far shorter trips back then.
Mind, the drivers might just be bumping my fare up like.

(28 Feb 2018, 2:15 pm)Cock Robin Totally agree.

I understand there are safety implications to consider but I feel strongly bus operators should get passengers back home before terminating services. We can't rely on public transport unfortunately.
I was meant to be volunteering today, but it was cancelled. The bus was running near enough to where I was going, so I didn't have any Stagecoach issues on this occasion, but I don't know what they expect would-be passengers to do when they stop running services without much/any notice. Stagecoach in SS and Sunderland have been really bad in running services, at least Newcastle services have largely been running to a good standard.
