Brrr. I'm frozen through. Those streetlites are the coldest buses known to man (except in the height of summer)
Only took us 3 hours to get home from South Shields. Only an hour longer than it should have.
Pic taken 2 hours ago. Slushy in places, but pretty deep on the pavements. Slow going for the bus and we got pelted with snowballs in Shotton and Wheatley hill.

(12 Dec 2015, 4:52 pm)Jimmi According to the Arriva Live Map earlier there was a 7 running around 105 minutes late! Mind it also said there were buses a few minutes away from Newton Aycliffe Town Centre for around 40 minutes!
Sky can't seem to get any signal, just been a blue screen since I came home an hour ago.

The weather saw to the diversion of X1's and X25's heading through Low Fell tonight.
Saw the X1 turning off the motorway at the Bowes Incline. Assume the X25 did the same.
6022 was looking very forlorn at the top of Blind Lane at about 1545.

Here in High Spen the snow has caught a few buses out too:
(The photo was edited to look nice on my phone but it doesn't look the best on the computer, sorry!)
This Renown found itself stuck on the incline leaving High Spen (heading towards Chopwell) just metres away from another Stricken Renown. However, a Scania L94UB with Wright Solar bodywork (It may have been a B7RLE Eclipse) was able to power past the beleaguered Renown.
I think GNE's drivers deserve a pat on the back for their efforts today, I can't imagine it's an easy job driving buses in these conditions.

In contrast, there's floods around Hartlepool and East Cleveland - the Hartlepool situation not being helped by a burst water main on the A179.

Well, Eva seems to have out done Desmond.
The wear in Durham City has gone over again, but thankfully, it's more of an inconvenience than a disaster, unlike parts of York and Hebden Bridge and much of Lancashire and North Wales.
And part of the M62 has collapsed into a sinkhole. I suspect that's going to be rather a pig to fix, over the next few weeks or even months.
