<p>I remember when the 53 ran from Blyth to Whitley bay via 1st/2nd/12th avenue, plessey road, Newsham Black Diamond, Deleval crescent, high pit, Cramlington Shops, then the current route to New York & North Tyneside hospital in 2 hours (6 times longer than the 308 & 309) and was operated out of blyth depot using darts & beavers. That was fun lol. there was a 53A between Whitley bay & Beacon hill but I don't know where via as I never got it<br></p>

(28 Aug 2019, 11:16 am)streetdeckfan I'll be the first to bash on Arriva, but I'm very sceptical that it happened exactly how they said it happened, especially since they went to the paper about it before any investigation was finished (which makes me think they're not going to find anything) I'm surprised there wasn't a picture of them sitting on the sofa with their compo face on

this takes me back when, a little worse for wear i got on the 45 to dinington when it used to do a loop back round to hazlerigg. Got bus no bother, got a driver who must have dropped me off in hazlering a thousand times..................... ended up falling asleep and getting woke up at the south end of gosforth high street and getting turfed off the bus at near midnight. It was the day man U won the European cup by scoring 2 goals in injury time. I went hard on the vodka to take the pain away!

(28 Aug 2019, 11:40 am)Jimmi BIt of a non story really, people get on the wrong bus daily and you don't hear about it.A newspaper, doing research! You must be joking.
The Northern Echo seem as confused as the passenger as the 12 doesn't go to Richmond that's X26/X27, if the 12 was heading in the opposite direction to Hurworth it would be heading towards Middleton St George which leaves from a different part of the Town Centre. By my reckoning TNE have just heard the accounts from the 14 year old and/or parents and printed it with no research into this, it's little wonder they ended up on the wrong bus.
Granted not the best just dumping a 14 year old somewhere they don't know but surely better research should have been done prior to this journey being made.

By the time you've read the article you've already seen the ads so they don't care!
The state of the E400 that Arriva brought along to the NEbus launch was terrible. It was covered in dents, scratches, the vinyl was peeling off and it's obviously hit something bright yellow on the front corner.
There's no way GNE would have shown a bus off in that state
