Variation Accepted by SN: Operating between Bishop Aukland and Cockfield given service number 6 effective from 02-Nov-2016. To amend Timetable.

Change to service 6 timetable is the 23:15 journey from Bishop Auckland now departs at 23:30 owing to timetable changes on the Arriva operated 6 between Durham and Bishop Auckland in order to maintain connections between the two services.

VU52UEF on 6 (Bishop Auckland - Cockfield), last night.

Probably be on again tonight as the board runs as follows: Service 9 during the day, 108 from Bishop Auckland from 17:30 and then the 6 from 21:15 and VU52UEF is on the 9 right now. It's usually MX08DFY.

Timetable change for the 9 from January 3rd 2017 is the service will no longer run on Saturday's.

VU52UEF is spending the day on the Town Service 9.

JSB Travel service 9 is to be withdrawn, October 27th 2017 will be the last day.

The condition of Ex Go North East 0480.

I sampled the SB Travel 108 service from the Asda to the bus station, I was disgusted at how me and my friend were charged £2 all together for the very short journey when on Weardale 101 it's £0.50 for a adult single. When I asked the driver if he accepted contactless he said no, as such had to give cash. The driver did not give me a ticket, even though he had a ticket machine, as such im worried he pocketed the money.

The bus had various seating and looked like it was bought from a scarpyard, the driver was not dressed appropriately and his attitude was not a good example to those on the bus.

At the Morrison's car park a lady boarded and ended up standing, the bus was so busy, the driver then turned round and said "there's a seat there, it doesn't bite" and then drove away.

I noticed that the vehicle had no CCTV, as such no evidence if anything happened on-board, the bus had pretty poor branding and looked like the vehicle wasn't treated with care.

At the back it had a cream panel to go with the blue, it made the vehicle look ridicoulous.

All together I would never reccomend this company, goodness knows how Durham County Council gives them this contract!?!

[Greg in Weardale]

Scarlet Band may be taking over the 108/109.

[S830OFT]

Scarlet Band may be taking over the 108/109.

Does this mean SB Travel have ceased trading? As they don't have any other routes and I don't think they do private hire.

What will happen to the 4 Optares with SB?

What will happen to the 4 Optares with SB?

Probably sell them but the SR I would scrap it don't like to move

Probably sell them but the SR I would scrap it don't like to move

I'm sure the Ex Go North East Solo (480) is on the scrap list as it was a tip last time I went on it.

I would expect the other 3 to perhaps migrate over to Scarlet Band as they are still useable.
