Nebpt website has information about the Seaburn Rally on the 30th August

Didn't post this earlier as I assumed it was the white Streetlite they already had, but it turns out there's an additional white Streetlite which is the sister to the one already on hire (SK68TXO). This one carries the registration of SK68TXN.

Couldn't think of anywhere else to put this - BusTimes starting to show scholar contract changes for independents, A-Line, JH, L&G and GCT all winners, at the loss mainly of GNE.

Just seen this post on the "The Real UK Bus Enthusiasts" Facebook page, by a post from Michael Mccalla:

Whilst at Gateshead Metro Centre with my mate Trevor Gordon having a coffee, I decided to grab a quick shot of the Coaster branding on a Go North East decker as this will soon be seen on Streetlites, Hybrid Gemini 6063 is seen on service 1A to Whitley Bay, this service will also cease to serve the Metro Centre from September.


1A/1B no longer serving the Metrocentre from September?

-------

Edit:

Looks like the service might end at Gateshead would make sense just to have a 1 service - replacing the 1A/1B sequence, 1: Whitley Bay - Tynemouth, North Shields, Howdon, Wallsend, Byker, Newcastle, Gateshead - every 20 minutes = 9 PVR

This event will feature a selection of Classic buses on display and trade stands

To travel to the event catch any bus to Bishop Auckland

If the £1 fares continue to be a success, will GNE continue look to still offer some sort of a promotion during the evenings? Okay perhaps not as "cheap" but still cheaper than normal fares.

Yesterday I had a bit of a interesting idea, To build bus stops in the grounds of both Northbound & Southbound Washington Services called the Washington MotoHub. It could be used as a sort bus parkway for washington or an interchange to other areas.

I would like peoples opinions on few questions:
Which routes or operators would serve this?
Would any new passenger flows appear as a result of the proposal?
Could any other service stations in the North East be transformed in a similar manner.
