The region’s bus operators enable ‘any bus operator ticket validity’ during Coronavirus emergency timetables from Monday
By Monday 30th March all the region’s main bus operators will be running to emergency timetables in the face of the current Coronavirus crisis resulting in a 80-90% reduction in the demand for bus services as people follow the Government’s stay at home advice, balanced with the need to keep services running for key workers and access to essential shopping and healthcare.
All routes will continue to operate, but at reduced frequencies. Bus operators’ websites and social media channels should be checked for full details.
To help those still needing to get around for essential journeys and to maximise the use of the combined frequencies of the emergency timetables, as well as providing a safety net for any unforeseen issues, the North East’s bus operators and the Local Authorities and Transport bodies who commission supported services, have all agreed an emergency arrangement through the NEBus partnership for the duration of the Coronavirus crisis and bus operators’ emergency timetables.
This will mean that valid bus tickets from all operators in Tyne and Wear, Northumberland, County Durham and the Tees Valley, including Arriva, Go North East, Stagecoach, Stanley Travel and other smaller operators operating Local Authority contracts, can be used across any bus operator on the routes or fare zone that the original ticket is issued for. This includes return, day and season tickets.

(27 Mar 2020, 6:24 pm)streetdeckfan Judging by what MG has been saying on Twitter, it looks like once this is over they'll be introducing a multi-operator ticket in County Durham. Something that's desperately needed with GNE controlling the north and Arriva controlling the south and no ticket other than the £10.90 a day Explorer

Unsure how authentic it is.

A 460-bed Nightingale hospital for the North East of England is being built near Nissan in an industrial unit bigger than a football pitch, it has been announced.

(12 Apr 2020, 9:54 pm)Michael Martijn Gilbert tonight on his live stream, has once again, asked bus enthusiasts NOT to ride the buses all day.Usually the same ones each time, heard a few instances of a certain brand of coffee being sighted spotting at Eldon Square in the last few weeks and many enthusiasts have been condemning anybody who has done so, the majority have been abiding by the measures but there's always the minority that has to spoil it.
This is the 2nd time now.... Please listen, you're risking others and yourself.

Let's be real, if you thought the lockdown would only be for 3 weeks, then there must be something wrong with you!
My guess is the three week review was to see if they needed to add more to the lockdown rather than take it away
