(26 Nov 2015, 7:57 pm)Dan I know quite a lot of you have an interest in seeing things which go on behind the scenes, and would like to see what an operational depot is like from the inside.
Maybe in the future Go North East (and other bus operators) can look towards allowing enthusiasts - and the general public - to do just this.

(26 Nov 2015, 9:29 pm)G-CPTN Yes, I am 'mature enough' to appreciate the things behind running a service - the sorts of things that the public don't see (or even think about).
I've been promised a visit to the Fire and Rescue Control Room . . .
Taxi Protest on 27 November from 4.30pm to 6.30pm
We have been made aware that a taxi protest will take place from 4.30pm today that will affect our buses in and around Newcastle City Centre.
To try and minimise delays buses will run the following routes:

These services will terminate at Clayton St/Bewick St and wait time, before departing from Central Stn bus stops.
Services towards Gateshead Interchange:
All services will turn left at the end of Blackett St onto Newgate St/The Gate, before picking up outside Wilkinsons (X1 included).
Services to Haymarket:
These services will terminate at the Army Centre/Council Offices stop, before turning around at the roundabout to normal route.
Services X84/X85:
These services will continue as normal.
Service Q3:
This service will run to normal route but with delays.

6131 Go North East Scania Ominidekka Northern by Diamond One, on Flickr6131s side destination needs some attention - quite a few LEDs around the destination (not just in one cluster) are not working. If you zoom in on the photo below you can make out the issue:

On the topic: I noticed that the side destination for the 831 reads 'Scholars' rather than 'Stanley'. I found this unusual to say the least.
