Just thinking, With 4934 having Wifi for the Durham ( University? ) Contract, Which ive never heard from for a long time.
Will it stay at Chester-Le-Street or migrate to Riverside with the rest of the batch?

Guessing that it covering for 8267 which incurred issues with its engine management system on the 82 at 6am this morning, which in turn caused issues with the gears and power steering from I heard the driver say on the radio.

Tesco Free Bus

Can anyone tell me what the times of the shuttle service at Stanley are that 553 is used on please

The Tesco Free Bus service departs Genesis Way Tesco at the following times:

T1 - 0900, 1045, 1300 and 1445 (terminates at Consett Bus Station)
T2 - 1000, 1215 and 1400

The T1 service operates from Tesco to Burnhopeside Avenue in Lanchester (23 minutes journey time), while the T2 service operates from Tesco to East Street in Chopwell (21 minutes journey time).

The T1 service is the one which calls at Consett Bus Station, four minutes after leaving Tesco.

MPD 547 is still active at Stanley at the moment, so that may appear instead of 553 (which is the case today).
