Problems accessing site
Sorry you've been experiencing difficulties accessing the site Kuyoyo. What happens when you can't access the site? I myself on occasions encounter a *could not connect to northeastbuses* screen. I'm at work on my phone at the moment so theres not really much I can do now at my end until later tonight. We will try and get back to you later today with what could be the problem. Once again, apologies for this. Thanks.
The problem is too many users being on the server at any one time, i've have this problem all the time, I think it's mainly down to the amount of "Guest Users" who enter the site not the ones who are actually signed up to the Forum, the only other time I have a problem is when the site is having maintenance work done to make the site better. Otherwise I have zero problems.
There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the site at our end and you're certainly not banned
On occasions I'll see this screen where the request has timed-out. I can normally get back in within a few hours later or the next day. When this happens to me, it doesn't seem to affect anyone else.

Unfortunately at this time all I can possibly suggest is that you try emptying your cache and/or using a different browser, but it may just be something that will work again on its own accord.
Please get back in touch if you continue experiencing problems, and once again apologies for the inconvenience.
I personally find the Cloudflare caching service causes a few problems when the site fails over on to it (which is a lot more than you'd expect). This is when I'm at work, so I'm assuming it's down to the way our own aggressive caching service is configured internally.
One other thing I've noticed is that the DNS config for the site could do with a once-over. There are a few minor issues there that could do with correcting.

I must apologise on behalf of the administration team. We realise that we have been having an excessive amount of downtime lately.
This excessive downtime should be fixed in a few days, as our website is moving to a new server. Until then, downtime may be more frequent than it has been in the past.
If the result of the new server is not positive, alternative arrangements to pay for hosting and the likes may come sooner than we had first aspired.
Once again, we do apologise for matters out of our control.

If you guys get really stuck, feel free to give me a shout. I may be able to sort something out for you in terms of hosting.

North East Buses is unfortunately going to experience some downtime overnight. This is planned to hopefully evade further downtime in the future.
Regular updates will be given on our Facebook page here.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused, and hope that this is just a rocky stage we'll overcome!
