Upcoming road closure by Morrisons at Doxford Park.

Passed the road closure signs just earlier.
It will affect a few operators, but particularly Stagecoach

(24 Jan 2014, 10:29 am)Dan Been no promotion of it though... Only on the e-mail address signature of some members of staff.
I actually thought enthusiasts ran it when it first started because there was no promotion of it by Stagecoach.

There was a advertisement on 33101 yesterday about it.

Although I've had no confirmation yet, I'd imagine the gas buses would just allow the oldest ALX300s at Sunderland to be withdrawn.

I have heard a rumour about some other buses coming to the North East from another region when they receive investment later this year too, but nothing concrete just yet... Just to be on the safe side (wouldn't like to think anyone referred to NEB as a 'fantasy island'), we'll keep those details quiet for now...

Do think Stagecoach have missed a trick by not having it on during half term. I'm sure there would be a few young lads interested in going if they saw it advertised on the buses!
Of course it means parents are likely to be at work too...!
