Is 39705 still a Shields bus! Have just looked at fleet list as saying it has moved to Sunderland!

Sun Ops: The service 23 leaving Dene Estate @ 20:38, 21:38, 22:38 won't operate tonight. The other 23 service will still operate as normal. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Lack of drivers?

Looking at Bus Times it appears 28008 was taken off the 23 to replace 19641 on the 10/11s, with 19643 being replaced later on by 36978

This may read like a strange question but why do Stagecoach buses always seem to be better preseted than those from Arriva? It might sound trivial but ride an Arriva vehicle and it looks as though people don't care. Notices re social distancing and such like are stuck hapazardly to windows and there is just that lack of consistency you get when riding SNE.

Come on, it is Arriva you're talking about you know .

Love it!! ? Something else I didn't comment on? Darlington yesterday watched the guy whose jacket bore the words "Bus Presentations Team". Really. Looked about as enthusiastic as I do about spending another day indoors!

Praise though to the Darlington based driver, X66 1025 off Middlesbrough for denying travel to one of these "just have to be out, stuff social distancing" Muppets.
