I noticed that all their "best" services.. like the Angel.. is updated right away, its not fair, its giving the wrong info for services
I also heard that the M2/M3 will only be getting the Saltwell Park Versa's, the Drifter ones - i was told they wasn't sure where they would be going.
But I agree with your ideas Adam, it seems the best option even though i was hoping the 39 would become Versa =(
Any news on the Streetlites?

A "Silver Arrows" Merc is the daily allocation. :p

Ahh - I've never seen that before. It's usually a northern branded decker when I'm out at this time. Has this just changed recently?

To be honest, I'm surprised it's still there. I know there used to be an engineering department based there but that has long since disappeared. All that's left is the office block and it looks well out of place in a middle of a housing estate. GNE probably could have sold of the land and relocated years ago.

I remember when I used to go down there and the bus depot used by the engineering department was right next to the office block, one of the times when I went down there and Wear Buses 8059 dart was there due to front end accident damage, wasn't the engineering department moved to Saltmeadows road when TWOC depot was purchased.

Holmeside is closed in one direction. Stagecoach in Sunderland are diverting their services via the Stockton Road/Burdon Road loop (see article here), but I've not been in town yet to see if GNE are diverting too..? It certainly affected GNE yesterday, when services operated via the Empire/St. Mary's Way as opposed to serving Holmeside/Fawcett Street.

As @ADLEnviro pointed out on a post in the Stagecoach North East section, diversion notices are often put up at very short notice...
I don't believe GNE alerted customers to the Waverley Road closure and the 24 diversions prior to today - the day the closure commences for 10 days?
May be worth trying to get some photos at Harlow Green Lane and Easedale Gardens as the 24 won't serve either location again from September, when it is being withdrawn and replaced by the revised "Coaster" service.

Wonder what will run to Harlow Green Lane and Easedale Gardens from September?
Wonder when we will see the revised Coaster brand.
