Is there any reason why these threads are taken up with items pasted from official companies websites, ie disruptions and diversions in Sunderland area. Anyone who has access to this website no doubt is an enthusiast and will also no doubt be viewing SNE, GNE and Arrfvas websites who have this information in any case, seems a bit pointless to fill up another database.

We cover every area on North East Buses. Pasting these news articles and disruptions allows for discussion on said items. Admittedly discussion doesn't usually stem off these news articles, but occasionally does.
You saying this is essentially like me saying, 'Why bother with GNE fleet news? We can see it on their enthusiast area anyway.'
Simply put: If you don't like something which is posted, ignore it.
No Daniel. Its good that you point out it can lead to discussion but it takes a lot of space for something that is duplicated. Why not just put a title base around it all or something perhaps.
But it is good to have it explained

A Sunderland 39xxx series E200 is making a rare appearance on xx:30 departures from Sunderland on 8s today.
First time in a long while the service has seen something other than a Dart to my knowledge!
EDIT: Just caught up with the E200 (with my camera this time!), and the vehicle in question was 39730 (NK09 EWC).
Something rare in Sunderland for once =D
