Last few Ashington services retimed by five minutes, usually departs at 30 past.

Sorry to disappoint, Tommy, but no bus wars this time!
Pah, boring route anyway.
308 and 309 play funny games in between the Coast Road and Haymarket, an amusement to watch especially when sat on shitty leather crap.

Was gonna inform but glad kuyoyo informed everyone wasn't really bothered who posts what these days
Regarding the closure of Chester-le-Street Front Street, a letter we all received this morning in tutor regarding our scholars service, I have put below:
Dear Parent/Guardian,
Northumbrian Water have indicated that the Northbound closure of Front Street, Chester-le-Street, will take effect as of Monday, 16 March. This will affect all school buses in the morning as they will be entering the Church Chare site from the Cestria entrance and leaving along Roman Avenue and then onto the A167 to travel to our North Lodge site.
There are two consequences which need to be noted:
A) All school buses will run 5-10 minutes early each morning so students need to be at the stops in the villages and along the routes to school earlier than they are used to.
B) The school buses will only stop at our Church Chare site on their way to North Lodge, and not at all on the Front Street. Students travelling to North Lodge should, therefore, ensure they are at out Church Chare site 5-10 minutes earlier each morning to catch the scholars services.
I have not been informed how long this arrangement will be in place, but will contact you again when Northumbrian Water and Durham County Council are in a position to confirm. Thank you, as ever, for your support during this matter.
Please note, transport after school will operate as it does now*, but the explanation would be too long.
Yours faithfully,
(Headteacher's Name)
Not a service change exactly, but thought to share anyway.
* If anyone would like to know how the scholars services operate on an evening, please ask.
Just realised...with these closures, my local stop at Clifford Terrace will be unserved by any buses.
Looks like I'll have to walk into Chester-le-Street every morning I go out...
These works are beyond a joke!
Marcus, there is a shuttle bus in operation every 20mins from hermitage roundabout to cone terrace.

Thanks nk55, I just realised after posting, and after contacting GNE on Twitter, they confirmed the shuttle service was operating past my local stop. #dilemmaover
Thanks anyway.

Hopefully not!
The Yellow MPD's should go on the 238, and the AD122 should get Solos.

They might (although I doubt it) use a Venture solo SR

I don't think its a mistake...the numbers after the 'J' are the stops that service serves on this map, the rest of the table can be found below:
