North East Buses

Apparently, Omnicity X21 BUS has left the fleet.

Who has bought the VR?

Seaford and District from Brighton I believe

Why doesn't Stagecarriage operate in Newcastle? They seem like a good operator.

I know they are, but it would be good to see them expand to other areas. I would like to ride a Stagecarriage bus, is there anywhere sensible they go?

You could get the GNE X9 or X10 to Middlesbrough and a nice little run would be to get Stagecarriage’s new X7 to Billingham and catch the X9 home from there

Thank you. Is there anything to see/do in Middlesbrough/Billingham?

Which other areas do you see us expanding to?...
Our X7 and X8 run every half hour between Middlesbrough, Teesside Park and Stockton with the X7 extending to Norton & Billingham every hour and the X8 to Hardwick, Carlton & Stillington every hour

Not a thing

Seriously? There must be something to see or do. I would like to give the X7 a try. I don't know what I could see/do somewhere the X7 runs. Anyone help?

Nah, there's an Asda and that's about it

Probably be better off buying a Blue Zone day ticket which is valid between Middlesbrough, Teesside Park and Stockton and just do that section of the X7/X8 route, £3.50 for adult or £1.80 for a child, no idea what singles cost.

Gold Zone day ticket covers the whole of the X7/X8 costing £5 or £3 for a child.

Catch the X7 upto Billingham Town Centre, have a quick run round, see the sights (don't get too bored...) and then jump back on the X7 15 mins later back the other way 

Maybe I could ride a Stagecarriage bus at the 500 Group running day or an NEBPT rally?

If you come down after a Leeds match you might see a good fight.

VDL Centro 19 YJ56JYA returned from repaint into the blue/grey base livery yesterday. Both this and 17 (YJ57BCU) are due to be vinyled shortly.

Have Bus4 bought The Eden? Quite often see some of their buses down the A66.

M&D have bought two buses ex Eden, one still in their livery incl fleetnames. They have a contract at Teesport.

Interesting if true
