RE: Jesmond Depot - Storx - 03 Aug 2023
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.

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.

Not sure why you'd want to let that. Isn't it effectively wasteland unless it's changed since the last time I've been up there.

Nope, still exactly the same as it has been for, well ages.

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.

Bizarrely, the pub still had leccy earlier this year. Assume someone had broken in and turned the lights on. Was weeks before anything was done about it and was either turned off/bulbs popped/disconnected.
That's to let too.
