(01 Jul 2015, 4:08 pm)South Tyne Lad Its also even more interesting that yesterday a pacer broke down and he seen liquid coming out of it and then a few days back, he seen a omnidekka up in flames on the Tyne Bridge!! and something else before that aswell, how can this guy seem to be seeing buses in flames and trains in smoke in a matter of days? PS he managed to be on a metro when the compressor blew up. A day or two after seeing a Omnidekka in flames!in a betting shop that would be 3 million to one or something!

(01 Jul 2015, 4:48 pm)buss14 well for starters how do you know that some trains are being converted to electric which you said previous because i asked some of the staff and they said that nothing like that has been decided yet because of various reasons. and other things are just minor issues

Really coincidental that. You are always there when something goes wrong in the transport area whether it be in Newcastle or Cramlington.
One positive thing from all of this: You are turning out to be one of the most controversial users ever.

well i am sorry if something goes wrong and i am there but for i do have to travel to work and i dont drive so what do you want to do? and i dont care what people think about me because its their opinion and i cannot change that. but if i get beaten up or threatened then thats when i do care
and i am sorry if i am doing peoples head in. the problem is and i have mentioned it many of times i have recently moved down here from Sheffield and to morpeth and i am asking people on here to see what is normal for public transport and what is not so i can keep a look out

(16 Aug 2015, 9:34 am)Andreos1 No idea if it is to do with the closures today on Teesside, but passengers were treat to a 156 on the Darlo - Saltburn line. Big step up to the usual 142's.

(16 Aug 2015, 12:16 pm)aureolin Who's said they're going to be refurbished?
Also, the next winner of the next Northern franchise has to bring 120 new non-electric 'carriages' into service by 2020. So you'd expect new DMUs to be on the cards. By the same year, Pacers wouldn't be allowed for use on the Northern franchise.

(16 Aug 2015, 9:02 pm)northern156 I thought the current Northern franchise has a 'no growth' agreement; and that purchase of new rolling stock was in contravention to this so this is why they have always had second-hand stock. Otherwise this is probably why we've never had new stock sooner.
Sure I've read that before but I'm happy to be corrected.
