Also alot being withdrawn.

The 24X is actually on the X24A RTC.  Quite a waste of paper during term time.

Don't know how true this info is but it's from a reliable source. Enviro 400 10000 currently on Loan from Manchester could be spending 3 days on trial for service x34 to test engine and performance between boldon and felling bypass as it's a rare chance to have engine performing at maximum rpm. No Idea how much truth is in this and no doubt I will be corrected but he seemed to know what he was saying. Provisional date around April time. Again I can't verify or confirm but thought I would get the groups opinions see if there's any weight to it

Best wishes

Chris

Who said deregulation would save taxpayer money?

Looks like Durham County Council have updated their website abit, saw the following extract from their site:


Find out when the next bus is due
Across the North East the most popular bus routes are tracked using satellite technology. Information is sent to electronic display boards at bus stops and websites to provide real time passenger information.

You can also get this information on your mobile or smart phone by using our journey planning services.

In County Durham this real time service will be available from July 2014.

Does this mean that their will be a App on the mobile to see real time bus services for across the Northeast similar to the Arriva App from July 2014?.

It is coming upto the hundred year anniversary of the war starting and there are events up and down the country remembering, informing and sharing stories of it.

Just found this story, which I find quite amazing.
