Any news on this? Noticed that Ian Levy has mentioned on his Facebook they have plans to regenerate both the bus station and depot site. First I've heard of anything on it but know there was rumours with a merger with Jesmond years ago which is for sale atm.

Does anyone know (other than the depot) where the Tees Flex buses tend to gather between pick ups.

I know Stillington is one location as I found 3 gathered there on Monday. Just need 2 more of the things to get photos of, and annoyingly they don't track anymore.

It would appear that Arriva have decided to change the Route displays,at first i saw it on 2837,which made me think it was specifically that bus  which is used for the 555,but then i saw it being used on the 553 when i was doing my shopping in Wallsend, about half an hour ago i was coming back from my local shop and saw a decker on the 308 with the same display,i kinda like it,especially with having rubbish eyesight,you can actually see the route numbers again

A stagecoach ADL E400 caught fire this morning on the A1.

Will 39715 be returning to service at Sunderland or has it been withdrawn?

Sunderland City Council have advised Vine Place and Holmeside will be subject to an emergency eastbound road closure from Monday 15 June 2020.

This closure has been requested by Northumbria Police, and is necessary to facilitate appropriate “social distancing” in this more constrained area of the city centre.

In addition to the temporary eastbound road closure, the bus stopping point for some westbound bus services will also be amended.

The westbound bus stops on Holmeside near Park Lane Market and Mecca Bingo will both be suspended, and affected services will be relocated further west to new temporary bus stops situated on Vine Place. These temporary stops will be close to Hays Travel.

The most westerly of these temporary stops will be allocated routes 8, 16, X24 and X24A.

The more easterly of the temporary stops will be allocated routes 10, 11 and 20.

Eastbound buses which would normally operate via Vine Place and Holmeside will be unable serve their normal stops, and will be diverted via Stockton Road and Burdon Road, observing a stop on Stockton Road, near “The Bunker”. These eastbound services will also continue to observe their normal stops on Fawcett Street or Borough Road.

Whilst these arrangements will formally commence on Monday 15 June, these temporary measures may be installed in the days immediately preceding. Once the various restrictions commence, buses will be required to change routes/ stops accordingly at that point in time.

Stagecoach would like to apologise for any inconvenience, delays or disruptions these necessary temporary measures by Sunderland City Council may cause.

Hi all

Was thinking about taking some photos of the east coast mainline near my house in Darlington and was just wondering if there was a website where I would find the headcodes of trains

Many thanks
