There's many places who would love a bus service running till 9 or 10pm each night, and yet these low lives who are constantly smashing bus windows wont be happy until the service gets withdrawn completely.

It must be awful for any decent people who have to live in much of Teesside, so many parts of it are just shit holes.

All arriva buses (minus afew from jesmond) have a poppy on the front. Similar to stagey done In 2017. Hope they keep their poppies on their buses all year round

Does anyone on here know how the X66 on a night works now? I’m currently on the 18:25 service from Middlesbrough (which was a Darlington run) but stocktons 1536 has turned up on it and 4649 has gone back to Darlington out of service

The board used to work the;

18:25 from Middlesbrough
19:25 from Darlington
20:25 from Middlesbrough to Faverdale finished at 21:30ish

Does anyone know if Blyth's 2810 is out and about at all? I don't recall having seen it on the road for quite some time, although I may just have been unlucky (or possibly lucky! Big Grin)

Covering for a breakdown I'm guessing? Pretty sure it's still a Darlington run.

It’s apparently because Darlington are short of drivers again, so they’ve took the board to Stockton instead of Darlington running it

Was about to comment that the 64 seems to be running in threes, thanks to lumiere, then a 4th one came past about 3 minutes after the other three.

Took me 45 minutes to get home from the arnison centre, by bus, yesterday afternoon. Only took me 25 minutes to walk there!
