There's at least 3 solos working service 22 Durham to Hartlepool today

For anyone wanting a photo of it given that it's a recent transfer, 22075 is on the 30 to Fenham passing Central Station now.

34610 is also on the 22.

It was suggested on here months back (when it was actually trialled) that GNE could actually buy it from Go-Ahead Group at a cheaper price with it being ex-demo.

Would deliver a saving whilst adding an extra (newer) bus to the fleet, which is already in GNE spec.

Don't see it happening now if I'm honest, but hopefully I'll be proven wrong. It will be housed with other Versas coming to the fleet in this year's investment plan, should it return.

I had my mam round this morning, and she said that she saw an advert on the Tv last night about a series on tv going to start soon, but don't know the date. I did an internet search but only came up saying it will be on spring 2014 8 episodes 60 minutes long and it looks like on channel 5: The series has the working title, ‘On the Buses’ and will feature the staff of East Yorkshire Motor Services (EYMS) as they go about their work during through the busy summer of 2013. The series will feature the general operations of the company from top to bottom; with crews filming behind the scenes in the board room and the control room, the canteens, the bus terminals and out on the buses - featuring a characterful cast of drivers and of course their passengers.



The series will offer a real insight into what it’s like to be a bus driver, the pressures they have to work under and how they keep themselves smiling.



It will be Series Produced by Rob Rawlings and Executive Produced by Spencer Kelly for The Garden and Tony Moulsdale and Melanie Darlaston for GroupM Entertainment.



The programme was commisioned by Emma Westcott, Commisioning Editor Channel 5 Head of Programmes at The Garden



David Wise said, “We’re thrilled to be making our first series for Channel 5, to work with GroupM Entertainment and with East Yorkshire Motor Service’s warm and welcoming team”. The series is scheduled for broadcast in early 2014.

Does anybody know when this series will be getting aired on TV.

Anyone else having trouble when they click on the "Photos" section of the site, just clicked on it and it said "it does not work " accompanied with blank white boxes?

Had anyone watched it on a morning, Arriva seem to be a common feature on there, the claims some people try to pull off because they think a bus company is easy pickings is madness, the last people I would con would be a bus company especially with the amount of CCTV

Having problems posting this evening. The only thing I can post from is my iPad. All posts using IE or Chrome have been coming up with 'Undefined' as replies. Any ideas?

I'm looking to get this set up and started in time for the new season, and in addition, a predictions league too. Both will be done through the premierleague.com website, which will require any entrants to create a free account with them.

One thing that I've noticed you can now do, and would be good to get some feedback on, is the league 'style'. There are now two options:

1. Classic League - Points from each game week are tallied up and added to a running total.

2. Head to Head - Teams in the league play each other in a head to head style game. The team gaining the most points in the fixture will gain 3 points for a win and 1 for a draw, which will make up your team's position in the overall table.

What would people prefer?

GNE posted a link on their Facebook page to an article by Design Curial which discusses the world's 10 best designed bus stations.

http://www.designcurial.com/news/the-wor...s-4290631/

Four from the UK make the list. In no particular order these are Poole, Slough, Preston and Vauxhall.

All of these structures look stunning in one way or another but the list is rather euro-centric. Surely, there must be some well-designed bus-stations of merit outside of Europe.

I'm pretty sure that the deliberately grotty second-hand car garage used for DCI Frank Burnside's undercover operations was based on Sunderland Road. But that being said, it could have been any part of Gateshead as any second-hand garage in the borough looks dodgy.

I will have to go and watch the episode again at some point.
