(26 Nov 2022, 9:17 pm)Storx See I think they would, if they have no money interests in the company, then they'd have an interest in supporting their colleagues on the rail incase they're in the same boat in the future.And the 9 which gets even more hammered & 56, which is even worse if there are two matches on.
The only people who care, are those who care about money, but then if they start meddling with operations, you're going into micromanagement territory.
Arriva and GNE have consistently not put bigger buses on any strike routes so it's a decision within the company including strike days in Sunderland with singles still running the likes of the 24 on a match day.

Seen someone mention something before and it's always been the general message that Arriva chose to leave Jesmond but curious was this actually ever the case or was it more so they had to leave the place since the lease was up and they had no intention of letting them be there long term so had to no choice?
Obviously beyond that Walkergate became uneconomical to open and then something went wrong at Ashington, anyway know the story there? As it's not been mentioned much either.

(03 Aug 2023, 8:27 pm)Andreos1 On a slightly connected note, I noticed the old Loftus depot has a 'to let' sign on the security fencing.
Think it's a fairly new addition.
(03 Aug 2023, 9:01 pm)Andreos1 Nope, still exactly the same as it has been for, well ages.

(03 Aug 2023, 9:06 pm)Storx Just had a look on Google Maps, looks like it's been tidied up. Still had the old frame up with a temporary fence last time I was there, admit I'm rarely along there as there's no real reason to be there.
Mind I'm really surpised houses haven't been built on it seems an ideal spot.
Totally off topic but the pub next door has a right sad timeline. Nice open pub -> removal men -> abandoned -> more abandoned -> falling apart.
