Redby MPDs are 55 plates so were new in late 2005 / early 2006.
GNE aquired them 2007 I think.

Noticed that one of the Olympians at Stanley has the new 'NOT IN SERVICE' display.
Because of gas main replacement works in central Corbridge, the Ten buses are not crossing the bridge into Corbridge but are waiting at the stops on the south side of the river.
There are excellent printed notices outlining this arrangement - on the buses!
There are no notices on the two stops in Corbridge that are not being served, so no information to would-be passengers that they should walk across the bridge or catch the X84/X85 (or the 685).
I have had to redirect several disappointed people who were waiting in vain for the Tens to appear, including an elderly lady that I told to catch the 687 to Hexham in order to catch the Ten towards Newcastle.
There was no way that she could have crossed the river in time to catch the Ten that hadn't appeared in central Corbridge.

If 14 B9's are now in service as the fleet allocation suggests, then there should of been only 1 Solar on today? Making it almost a fully decker.
(13 Jan 2014, 4:46 pm)cbma06 Isn't the local council for the area that supposed to be putting notices up at bus stops in Corbridge, at lease GNE have done their bit by putting notices up on their buses that run the services in that area. GNE has no obligation to put notices at those bus stops, its up to the council, same go as timetables at bus stops.

(13 Jan 2014, 5:12 pm)G-CPTN The proposal was that buses would continue to serve central Corbridge using Front Street as an alternative to Middle Street (as other traffic is doing), however at the last minute we have heard that buses will not cross the river.
As GNE have printed notices for all of the relevant buses (Tens, X84/X85 and 687), two extra copies for the affected bus stops would seem no problem.

(13 Jan 2014, 5:51 pm)tyresmoke As much as it is the council's responsibility for bus stop posters and timetables, a little bit of good PR/customer service would see GNE putting their own posters up to take care of their own passengers. Stagecoach used to do this in Stockton when major disruption took place.

Looks like GNE have finally launched their centenary book - http://www.simplygo.com/news/north-east-...-for-kids/. The fact it's a children's book came as a bit of a surprise, as I seem to remember them advertising that it was going to be a bit of a history book. Convinced I had got the wrong end of the stick, I went to dig around to see what was originally posted, and found this - http://www.simplygo.com/news/sunderland-...ook-stars/
Does anyone know if this is a change of plan? Or whether a second book is planned to be released?
