Hard to think I was only on that lovely bus on Tuesday... Horrible to see it like that. I don't think it'll be withdrawn however.

Certainly one way to get rid of all these Tridents haha. Shame though, because the result is more likely than not going to be someone losing their job.

I work with a great number of companies on Great Park including the NHS centre there and all of the staff that were on corporate travel agreements have all been given Key Cards instead of Arriva passes ahead of this Sunday.

It would be a good idea. When I've been on holiday to Skegness, Stagecoach use open-top Alexander ALX400's on service 3, and it's always full, even though it runs every 7/8 minutes! I know Skeggy is more of a tourist attraction than the North Tyneside seafront, but there is something that the public love about open-top vehicles, so GNE should jump on the bandwagon. May become a success.

They used to have one working the route (333?)from Shields Ferry in the 80s and early 90s. It was an Atlantean, but not sure if it was a deliberate conversion or an accidental one like the Trident the other day

I used to love travelling on the 333 from Whitley Bay to North Shields as a kid. It always seemed to be a well-used service during the summer although I accept that the allure of Whitley Bay and Tynemouth has declined somewhat, probably leading to its withdrawal. On a related note, has anyone ever travelled on (in my mind, the almost mythical) 555 between South Shields and Seaburn? - The service used appear on route maps but I never managed to travel on it despite making efforts to do so. Did a timetable even exist for this open-top service?

I don't want to go too off-topic, but thanks for bringing this up actually! There was a timetable for an open-top service between South Shields and Seaburn but for some reason must have been taken down. I've put it back online. It's Economic service 22 - which was running during the summer of 1997. Perhaps this had been numbered the 555 at some point?

I'm pretty sure the 555 was allegedly operated by Northern. Economic/South Shields Busways might have taken over the operation of the service at some point in the early 90s but I think this is a re-introduction of this service rather than a renumbering. Maybe I'm wrong though.

(02 Apr 2013, 9:23 pm)Adam Malarkey After the little dispute over the layout I've changed mine abit, I've put all my GNE Brands Sets into one entire Collection, although the sets do remain separate for easier viewing, You'll only see the Collection though when you go on my Photostream, because if you click on sets it will still be the same. So there is slight changes I've made, I will eventually do this with other Sets for Arriva and Stagecoach etc. Just thought i'd inform you Daniel.

As you've probably noticed I haven't replied to the post you made summarising everyones comments yesterday, the way I see you have your interpretation of it and I have mine. The other reason behind not replying to it was to not allow the situation to get even worse and resulting in further arguing over a silly little thing like that.

Digging up such an old thing because I've only just had a chance to look through the forum as I've been on a three-day trip to the Lakes for the past three days.

Isn't that even more similar to mine now then..?
http://www.flickr.com/photos/danielgrahamm/collections/
Thought it was pretty common knowledge that my collection was called Go North East: "Buses By Brands" and the sets (notably in alphabetical order to ease my issue with things being unorganised) under that collection? I do mention it in every post, but nevermind.

I have tonnes of sets, so it would be irrational for me to say that using only sets would allow for easier viewing. If you go on my sets page, it's rather unorganised indeed. It does not allow for simplistic finding of a specific thing easily at all - on my collections page, however...

Still would love to see who had this idea before me though, as I stated in that massive rambling essay that led to no where. If anyone would kindly do the honour of showing me the original source (if it isn't mine) and I'll gladly pipe down.

Anyway, I have a few GNE photos from when I've been travelling to Newcastle (and latterly Carlisle and the rest of the Lakes) each day. They'll be uploaded over the next few days, and a summarising post of new arrivals to the present sub-collection will be made from the photos I've not yet made a post about and those taken over the past three days.

I seem to remember the open topped, City Sightseeing bus around South Shields just a few years back. Pretty sure some of the bus stops along the top of the cliffs from Gypsys Green to Marsden Rock are/were marked for the City Sightseeing service.

Looks like it knelt down for a pushchair/wheelchair and wasnt able to get back up again. Leaning very heavily to the left

The 538 is part of the 538/539 - 505/506 - E1/E2 lineage so it's definitely not that service as it still exists today (albeit with a slight route variation through Horsley Hill). The 327 eventually became the 333 in the early - mid 80's. It used to operate all the way to South Shields in 1974 (see attached timetable below) but by 1979 the route had been curtailed to terminate at North Shields Ferry. When did the 327/333 become an open-top service?

(04 Apr 2013, 8:21 pm)Brandon I don't want to go too off-topic, but thanks for bringing this up actually! There was a timetable for an open-top service between South Shields and Seaburn but for some reason must have been taken down. I've put it back online. It's Economic service 22 - which was running during the summer of 1997. Perhaps this had been numbered the 555 at some point?

I'm pretty sure the 555 was allegedly operated by Northern. Economic/South Shields Busways might have taken over the operation of the service at some point in the early 90s but I think this is a re-introduction of this service rather than a renumbering. Maybe I'm wrong though.

Do you mean the 327/538 in the 80's from Whitley Bay to Seaburn, called Sea Front Services?.

The 538 is part of the 538/539 - 505/506 - E1/E2 lineage so it's definitely not that service as it still exists today (albeit with a slight route variation through Horsley Hill). The 327 eventually became the 333 in the early - mid 80's. It used to operate all the way to South Shields in 1974 (see attached timetable below) but by 1979 the route had been curtailed to terminate at North Shields Ferry. When did the 327/333 become an open-top service?

Great to see. but I would have thought the starting rate for fully qualified would have been a lot more than it is.

Ive got the timetable for the 327/538/539 ( 538/539 was a seperate timetable from the normal service 538/539) from the 80's sea front services. 327 whitely bay to north shields ferry landing (Ferry) 538/539 South Shields market to Seaburn. Sundays and Bank Holidays only, hourly service.

Ive sent the sea front services timetable images to northeastbus email address, if one of the adminstrators kindly could upload the 2 images.
