New in at GL is Mercedes-Benz Sprinter EVM (NA26 VVG) - https://www.flickr.com/photos/adammalark...ateposted/

Roadworks at Roker Terrace are currently happening , both Roker Terrace bus stops are out of use so probably routes 700 and E1 will be diverted.

Is it just me or is the 558 Dene Estate-Heworth Interchange bus route always late ! for example I get on at North Guards , Chicks Lane and there the route is late by a minimum of 20 minutes , never have I seen this bus on time !

And the old TB933 from Winlaton-Team Valley , I was basically the only passenger on it untill one day somebody took the service back to Winlaton , every time I took it , it was late by a minumum of 15 minutes.

Don't forget about the temporary S1 from South Shields to Little Haven Hotel , zero passengers , and late by a minumum of around 12 minutes , it never worked for me !
