A story on the BBC of a GNE 21 driver quitting and leaving passengers on board near the Angel.

How much longer do the current decker have on the x93. Seems to have the issue this year of reliability. 
The deckers in Whitby are not in a good state and majority of them are broken in Redcar depot. 

Not sure on the new enviros as 7575 seems to manage a few hours then disappears off tracking

The first of a large order of electric buses are now appearing in York. The first are Wright electric streetdecks 36501 - 36520 and are in a grey and purple livery. No single deckers yet but they will be numbered 63644 - 63667 of which some will probably be in the blue park & ride livery to replace the Mercedes bendy buses.

Looks like Arriva have also updated their NSA displays to include the current time, very handy!

Not sure why they have the 1 branded a Sapphire though!

It would be nice to see more demonstrators up here such as all the new wrightbuses and the new Volvo BZL

Flooding in East Cleveland prevented this service going passed Saltburn. Waited for ages in Runswick Bay( thank god for the pub and my Mrs). No Twitter announcements from Arriva, or announcements from their website.

I like what has been done by co-ordinating the 306/7/8/9 on the coast road but was wondering if something similar should be implement in other areas. 

Given that the 5, 17 & 50 share sections between Boldon, Whiteleas, Chichester & Shields is seems like this could be good idea. The other one I had in mind was the 18 & 26.

So with the 39/39A/33 all being increased recently at Deptford any news on whether the X20 would return, or the 60 which i believe is the last service at Deptford to not have their frequency re-increased. 

As well Rainton Bridge needs a much better service, early 20A are needed, especially if the rumored X20 to only be from Sunderland to Durham limited Stop, Barnes, Lidl, Board Inn, Houghton and Durham. 

Any news on any of these?

Obviously you had the 53/54 which seems to be permanent, as with the 97

Anyone else got the new Bus Times update, its awful!
