High praise from customers after North East’s severe weather
As the Beast from the East - and its later ‘mini’ successor, inflicted disruption upon the region’s roads during February and March, Go North East customers commended the award-winning company for pulling out the stops to keep its buses moving.

Seen a pic of a merc on the 11 which must of been the gateshead operation. I think they would suit the full route

6122 still working for Chester-le-Street. A loan with no rush to return with Stanley having a higher number of vehicles than they require or the first transfer?

Ok. I think i saw 6136 on scholars this morning - its getting quite easy to identify as it is one of the 3/4 that haven’t had their side destination displays lowered yet.

5216 back at Riverside on the 58s today.
4899 was on 67/69s Today, does anyone know when 4899 will finally get withdrawn?
Also has 559 been withdrawn?

Think there has been an accident outside Cooper Rose with a black cats streetlite. Roads all closed and ambulance police in attendence.

This is purely speculation.

Correction. Looks like two streetlite has colided.

672's NSA's are running a stop behind where the bus is actually at

Many of tje cobalt clippers with boster boards have posters. Since the subway poster has been talking off most buses many are left with just the rear poster. Go north east have however made an effort getting 6101 a new poster for the nearside that being for duck duck goose but not the offside. Probably as soon as the next side posters come out the cobalt clippers with poster boards will have them.
Also 709 has now transferred to percy main and is allocated to the newly won W2.

Cyclist extremely lucky. Usually come worse off with buses.

How on earth has the cyclist come off uninjured?! There's obviously been a big impact on that front windscreen.
Very, very lucky.

Does anyone know which 50A got vandalised last night?

X5 broke down last night very late and didn't run
Was this the last one?

6161 is at Beamish Museum today for Beamish’s Bus Event
