RE: Go North East - Latest
(16 Jun 2014, 1:49 pm)GuyParkRoyal wrote Services 27 & 88 diverted away from Finchale Road in Hebburn due to flood alleviation works expected to last until 26 September 2014. A free Shuttle bus is providing a link between Finchale Road and Monkton Lane to link up with the 27 & 88.
The allocation for the shuttle bus has been 543 from first run this morning with 606 covering during the morning break period with 543 returning to the route.
(TB 529 is also diverted without the need to use the shuttle bus).
I too managed to get a photograph of this today.

I also used the service for a full 'round trip' (pah.. it can barely even be called that), and the driver spoke to another passenger who was stood in front of me and said, 'He needs to get a life, doesn't he?' after I took an interior shot of the vehicle.
So shout out to that driver for being awarded with NEB's very first 'd*ck of the day' prize!
MPD 606 later went out on services M2/M3.
