(21 Feb 2016, 11:24 am)Charles41 I'd just like to say that I've always found GCT's staff friendly and helpful. I use both their buses and taxis regularly.I know all of the driver's that do the Sainsbury's free shuttle service and I can't say I have many complaints about any of them.
My favourites are the taxi-buses around Felling and Pelaw where everyone seems to be on first name terms.

How many vehicles have these got from durham county council
(26 Feb 2016, 8:47 pm)BJ10VUS Stagecoach service 71 is being extended to serve Walbottle, Newburn and Throckley during the evening, so the 71A is to be withdrawn. The Kingston Park to Westerhope section will be served by Arriva service M71 during the day only.

Is this illegal?
The driver of the 592 using yx61bju decided to ternamate at fullwell grange and he was 10 minutes early he had 592 on the screen then turned it to nis but what will those passengers that need gladstone street from seaburn metro? This was the first trip around 1635 at fullwell grange
(31 Mar 2016, 4:51 pm)biglugs@yahoo.com Is this illegal?Raise your concerns with the operator in question. It could have been an operational decision due to road closures or whatnot? Who knows.

(02 Apr 2016, 12:50 pm)tyresmoke As I was driving home yesterday passing the Tyne & Wear LGV place on the A184 there was what appeared to be a red Plaxton Primo in there, along with various GCT deckers (and there was a Solo the other day) - possibly a new addition to the GCT fleet?

(02 Apr 2016, 3:04 pm)GuyParkRoyal The location next to Tyne & Wear LGV is Hoddys where PSV / MOT tests are carried out. I noticed a few of the Tridents have been missing from the GCT depot this week and I assume that they are taking advantage of the school holidays to have work done on the vehicles.

Had my first proper ride out on the Bluebird today on the 23, I hate driving to the Galleries on the weekend and the 23 Is the best option for getting to Washington from the East and North East of Birtley (I also find the 82 a torturous experience)
The driver was very friendly, knew his regulars and was extremely accommodating.
I'm not a huge fan of the BB. I like to see out the front (the car driver in me) and at 6'3, seated I can't see out of the front of the Bluebird. I felt very claustrophobic throughout. The onboard radio provided a nice distraction to the awful NSA on the 21 that I'm used to.
The BB much like every bus really struggled on Long Bank not quite Waggonway bad but we slowed to a crawl outside the 1st tee at Ravensworth Golf Club. The bus was surprisingly fully loaded. The 23 Is a nice route out but a struggle to enjoy in what is basically a van

(02 Apr 2016, 10:24 pm)South Tyne Lad I find Bluebirds quite nippy, Though there torturous after half a hour on one.
Isnt the other board on the 23 operated by JH Buses using a Plaxton Primo? That might have been a bit more comfortable.
