Does anyone know which years Expresslink and Northern Superliner were introduced as I am working on a photographic timeline, some of it I have worked out from looking at the Bygone Era Timeline.

Decided to do this follow contact from the Go-Ahead Group Communications Team for use of a few of my photos for promotional purposes which have also been used by Go North East and Northern Echo in recent weeks.

I’m sure it’s already been mentioned on here before, although I haven’t been able to find anything.

Which routes are run from Slatyford and which from Walkergate? Not familiar enough with the area to get an idea, only know a couple of them.

From Saturday 31 October, we’ll be increasing some services further and making changes to some others.

You can view all the new timetables in our timetables and maps section or by clicking the links below – simply select your service and change the calendar to your desired date.

As a autistic person would just like to mention this:

Does anyone know why 28040 has not returned to service yet? 

There is a blue gas bus parked in the end shed around the back of the depot (in front of where 22019 is parked) which im assuming must be 28040.

For yet another day, Darlington depot are dropping a number of runs this evening. As of 16:55, the ANE Twitter feed reports the following as not running:

7: 17:28 to Darlington
8: 17:52 to Darlington
8A: 17:05 to Ferryhill
8A: 17:28 to Spennymoor
12: 16:52 to Teesside Airport
12: 17:49 to Hurworth
X21: 17:35 to Peterlee
X21: 19:08 to Darlington
X26: 16:51 to Darlington
X26: 17:55 to Marne Barracks
X27: 16:31 to Darlington
X27: 17:35 to Hipswell
X66: 19:25 to Middlesbrough
X66: 20:25 to Darlington
X66: 21:25 to Middlesbrough
X66: 22:25 to Darlington

As well as "gaps in services 2, 4, 9, 10, 13A and 13B". 

I've not noticed anything similar from any other bus depot in the NE (across ANE, GNE and SNE). 

How the depot management at Darlington still have jobs is beyond me, given their blatant disregard for driver safety. (https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/1...arlington/).

Interesting that yesterday, the enthusiast area was showing the latest update as 6th September 2020, yet today is it showing 4th October 2020.
The updated Fleet Archive shows weekly entries for 27th Sept, 20th Sept and 13th Sept which have never appeared on the https://www.gonortheast.co.uk/enthusiast-area home page?

Photographed this vehicle at Coach Lane Campus this afternoon, it had just finished a journey on the 1. I presume it is on hire to Stagecoach as it has a fleet name and fleet number 80044. It was latterly with Golden Tours of London In a Harry Potter al over wrap.

Repaints last week included Optare Solo SR M925/Optare 653 (NK15 GDE) into a two-tone purple base livery, which will be used as the new local Peterlee brand in the future

I wonder if the new brand will be launched the same time as the second hand coaches for service X9/X10? As the theme seems to be purplish.
