(05 Aug 2021, 8:44 am)Train8261 What passage is gonna care the way there bus looks. As long as it gets to there destination.

The operators must think it matters, or they wouldn't spend fortunes doing it. 

The "any bus will do" attitude over decades has probably been one of the reasons why people don't see bus travel as a viable alternative.

Yea granted some of them won't care.

My nana and grandad are both 70 years old. They are never into buses. But when the Coaches entered service on the X9/X10.

They happily said its a lot more of a better ride to Peterlee then the deckers. So maybe in some eye (new buses) and liverys are better to catch the eye of some people

They probably don't care if it's. A carbon copy of one 300 miles away, though.

I don't necessarily think it's that big of a deal that it's a copy, but I honestly dread to think how much they're paying to Stenning for a copy and paste job, I can't imagine he's cheap.

I was on the top deck of the 308 from Blyth earlier and there were three gobshite teenagers, probably about my age, sitting behind me shouting at each other, playing shitty rap "music" at full blast and squirting juice or something everywhere. Seriously, some parents should never leave their kids unattended.

Fixed that for you.


Always something going on around these parts, if its not a group of lassies screaming their lungs out on the last X21 to Ashington, it'll be kids vandalising stuff or just being vile.

Used the bus around 3 times in the past year and I think I'll suck up the £2 per litre from now on...

It's not just buses either. It's bus stops having windows put out, street furniture set on fire and teenagers basically running a mock. There's no deterrent to any of it, other than the couple of nights in a row the local MP, councillors and police turn up for a photo shoot.

If I remember correctly Go North East were diverting buses away from Newbottle Street in Houghton-le-Spring (at least during evenings) for that reason a while back. I think the 22 was also omitting Thornley for similar reasons (glad I don't live there anymore!)

I also recall some kids throwing stones at the bus while I was passing through Eldon on the 5/5A at least once a few years ago.

That's happened quite often there, Williamfield Way (Dandy Cart) in Aycliffe has been a problem area too in recent times with not just buses being targeted, local Facebook group is full of posts about cars being bricked and the like too.

I hate people who push infront of you especially when you've been waiting 30 mins for a service which is meant to be every 15, this has happened to me three times in the past 2 days, one instance a group of teenages just pushed in front and were saying oh ill get on the bus and drive it, then giving grief to the driver when he got off (to switch drivers) and no driver was there, and then I was waiting in the queue and then this person with a pram who was at the back of the queue, just decided to shove move and go right to the front to get on, I mean there is just no need you're guaranteed a space.

I have students moving in next door  Angry

Since I got the house 4 and a half years ago, next door has been as good as empty. When I first moved in it was an 80+ year old next door, so other than having to listen to songs of praise through the walls, it was peaceful. Last year the house was bought by some developers and they spend the last 18 months doing the house up, but because they were from Scotland it would only be on the weekends. Plus, given I grew up living in building sites, the construction noise really didn't bother me (If anything, it puts me to sleep!)

I come back home from my daily Lidl run tonight to find some youths moving in, I really hope they're not into that shite they call 'music' these days!
