Curious question, what would a luxury bus service look like. I was thinking of a luxury minibus/taxi but I'm not sure thats suitable for local work.

Been show a photographer of 1573 Park up at Arriva Redcar depot dose anyone have any knowledge about it

Tried looking for a thread for the stockton depot but couldn't find one so here we are.

Anyone know what is the SP SN (Spare Stockton Ticket machine) today on the 7?

Info is a bit sporadic online to compile a decent fleet list but here's is the start of one if anyone has any updates for them  Roberts Tours | Busncoachfleetlists Wiki | Fandom

This has been confirmed as cancelled this year due to the Howlands Park & Ride site now open on Sundays for Park & Ride services to and from Durham City Centre.

North East Bus Preservation Trust confirmed it on their facebook page tonight.

Of the playoffs due to not having a 10 year lease on Gateshead Stadium.

I try to stick up for council but now  if i find out they've cocked up and add to the the extortionate monthly council tax... well maybe its time for a change!

Hi everyone are there enviro 400 mmc that go into whitby if so what depot do they come from. Thanks

Noticed yesterday that the Ashington fleet have had their vinyls advertising the free WiFi removed/cut. I assume this marks the end of WiFi being offered as standard on Arriva services.

Several E400MMCs going around with only half a vinyl where they've cut the "Free WiFi" part off...

I was looking at this earlier, after spotting a tweet by Featham, and it'd sparked some interest.

Go North East appear to be solely contracted to run the 900 between Benton and North Shields. Today they appear to be running with 18 buses, broken down as follows:

Consett
6215, 6945, 6949, 6950

Deptford
6001

Percy Main
3995, 6113, 6131, 6134, 6135, 6142, 6168, 6171

Riverside
6954, 6957, 6962, 6965

Washington
6372

Whilst on the other hand, the 'Short Notice Journey Cancellations' list is back with a vengeance. Today alone, there's 43 journeys missing from the timetable. Percy Main, for example, has 19 of those journeys missing: (1: 2, 307: 3, 309: 3, 352: 3, 353: 2, 354: 1, 355: 5), whilst having 8 buses worth of work on Metro replacement. 

The Q3 also has 5 journeys missing, and I believe that is already contract work from Nexus, beyond St Peters basin. 

As we've been told previously, these journeys are only those notified in advance. I've spotted 3 myself today that didn't run and aren't on the list, so no doubt there'll be many others.

It's funny how quickly partnership work can go out the window, when there's the opportunity to make a quick buck doing some contract work, and you're able to neglect your normal services without fear of repercussion.

Hello,

Does anyone know how much money was raised for Bernardos at the Blyth Driver's Karaoke at Blyth Bus Station?

BTW it was a lot of fun and I hope they do it again - hopefully with more advertisement.
