(02 Jul 2014, 7:47 pm)Brandon Stone Hi all,
Some members may remember me, but in case not, I'm Brandon, from Sunderland but now in Wallsend. I used to be Admin for NEB until last year when I stepped down to take some personal time.
NEB has changed so much from I remember. There are operator fleet lists, a dedicated news section and a thriving canteen section. It's really great to see so many new and active members contributing too. Liam and Dan have really brought NEB forward in 2014.
I'm returning to assist Liam and Dan in the re-launch of The Bygone Era as its own stand-alone section on NEB. I'm working with Chris who is currently dedicating his time to split the large PDF files into individual timetables - I thank Chris so much for this. This will greatly improve accessibility to the material on offer. I'm assured that there is a lot more material that never made it to the server first time around, so I'm looking forward to seeing all this online at some point. It's going to be great.
Cheers guys!

Hello,
My name is Alan. I originate from Sunderland and spent many years living in South Shields and elsewhere (out of the area) before migrating to Scarborough, although I still spend more than a quarter of my time in South Shields with my family.
I have been interested in buses, coaches and trams since being a young teenager (in the 1960s), but my interest waned for a while in the face of competition from football and girls. I regained my interest about 30 years ago - ( to the astonishment of my wife) - and have been an avid photographer ever since.
My other hobby is travel and this nicely combines with photography and has resulted in my collection of bus, coach and tram photos from many parts of the world.
I am a member of the Omnibus Society.

Hi
I am trying to source information on my families business know locally as "The General".
Initially the first taxi company set up in Chester le Street, the General Omnibus ran both buses and coaches from the early 1900's maybe earlier!
The Atkinson family owned many vehicle related business due to the brothers all setting up various businesses.
Up until the mid 1990's Akinsons Coaches ran by third/fourth generation...
Why am I asking for images, and details. I too run my own set of businesses relating to the wedding market and I ve been informed that my great great grandad may have been one of the first to offer wedding cars in the north east (Taxi). I d really like to know more and search the general internet is not throwing much up at all.
Any information would be appreciated.
Thank you

I never formally introduced myself
I'm Fozz, some of you already know me, most don't.
Been a fan of buses for longer than I can physically remember, not sure how I came to like buses, nearly being killed by either a Leyland National or Atlantean(obviously I have no memory of it) when I was about 2 or 3 in Easington Lane should have put me off buses for life.
The National is my favourite bus of all time and the Citaro is favourite modern bus, followed by the Scanias
Hi everyone my name is Neil Watson. I have always had a keen interest in buses especially Stagecoach,Arriva and Go North East. I'm from Newcastle although in the past i've gone tto places such as Hexham, Berwick and Scarborough.

Hey everyone
Just wanted to introduce myself... My name is Adam and I'm 14 years old... I've had a big interest in buses ever since I was young... My local Arriva depots are Whitby, Redcar, and Stockton. I sometimes take pictures of buses and post them on my Flickr... My Flickr username is arriva4007 so be sure to check it out one day! You may think I am crazy saying this.. But I absolutely love Plaxton Prestiges.. Everybody thinks that they are rubbish but I used to love it when Prestiges and Ikarus' were on services X56/56 and 65/65A... In my home town depot, Loftus. My favourite Prestige still going is probably 4007. As you might be able to tell by my username haha
Thanks for reading
