Not of local interest, but still remarkably well preserved - and in use toady.
Stevensons of Uttoxeter were at one time the largest independent bus operator in the country. They were sold to Arriva (British Bus) in 1994 which dates this sign as being at least 22 years old, though I suspect it'll be even older than that. Under Arriva ownership, two Opatre Vectas (1557 & 1558) were sent up from their Burton upon Trent operation to operate on Teesside in a fleet standardisation exercise.
Toady Arriva are in the process of selling the much of the old Stevensons operation back to regional independent Midland Classic. Midland Classic have repainted a Scania in the livery on Stevensons as a nod to their history; maybe that bus and this stop should be introduced for a photo opportunity?

The new ones going up do have the Connect Tees Valley logo at the top. They're in the process of changing them all, but in no particular order and have even stuck one up outside the Vue cinema which hasn't had a service stop there since the shopping shuttle 25 was withdrawn

Not sure it is 'Ghost' as technically it's still in use, but I was reminded recently of the very old (guessing it's from the early 70's) sign in Billingham.
Located at the very top of The Causeway (western end), it warns bus drivers to be careful when performing u-turns.
Whilst the area around it has been 'modernised', and new shelters installed - it was nice to see the sign has remained in situ.
Noticed a Nexus flag featuring the 'pipes' at the southern end of Whinbury Road recently.
However the brief sighting of a Nexus stop in someone's back garden yesterday got me. I was on the upper-deck of the X1 and noticed that a house behind the 'Paddock Stile Manor Care Home' at Philidephia was showing off a residents bus enthusiastic tendencies. Will go back for closer inspection.
Red northern stop signs exist in the following:
- Hamsterly bank (at the top to the left, as you go down towards B.H.M)
- Crookgate, Pack horse (to the left as you travel towards Gateshead, on the side of the bus shelter)

On Hill Street there is still an Arriva Bus Stop sign when no Arriva buses stop there anymore.
Got this from Google Maps, but still looks the same now.

Don't Suppose anyone can shed any light on these stops that have appeared on Hartlepool Marina. Can't ever remember them being there before the new-style Connect Tees Valley flags, so about 5 years or so ago?

A ghost bus stop for buses that could never serve stop there.

There’s still a bus stop on Hills Street in Gateshead opposite the Central Bar even though buses can no longer go that way due to the far end being paved over where buses used to exit onto the Tyne Bridge

(05 Aug 2021, 8:59 am)Train8261 Remind me of two bus stops near Dudley. They had been there ever since the 40 and the 41 got withdrawn from the area. That was way over 8 years ago and the bus stops only got took out last year
