How’s the new night services going? 56 and 60s

I had a nice ride out to Killingworth on the 42, and to Kingston Park on the 42A today. A great experience as usual from Go North East. Reliable service, just could do with NSAs. The 42A didn't serve Woolsington for some reason, diverting from Newcastle Airport to Bank Foot and then normal route to Kingston Park.

Just checking the time for the 2/2A for a friend and the new timetable pops up with the brand name on...

Any idea when the GNE enthusiast site is going to be updated ? nothing since May 02nd

A few buses serve Heworth Interchange from Newcastle. Which is the best service? The Q2 terminates at Heworth, so I'm guessing that's not the best one.

Aycliffe have there Shildon bus rally planned for Sunday August 22nd

Lead to believe, that from SUNDAY 20th JUNE 2021, that MUTUAL ticket acceptance is ending.

Apparently there is a campaign to rename the airport to Newcastle Sunderland Airport.
