So this is a new one which I haven't seen. The recent new timetable changes to nexus bus stops have new changes. A few I've seen

306 now mentioned (306 to Whitley Bay Bandstand) as it was previously 306 to Whitley Bay Town Centre 

307 now has Watervill road as a metro station (which is true)

57A now has To North Shields Hub (instead of Whitley Bay) the A&B section mention Whitley Bay as the journey terminate 

38 now says To Meadway Estate instead of Freeman Hospital 

And just a few other ive seen. This is a good changes to show where the bus actually terminates and I quite like it

Can't remember this ever being publicised.

Nearly at the end of this year's conversation though.

So nexus have posted that a shuttle bus will be running this year. Werid that GNR is in a few weeks and nothing by any of the bus companies have been posted. No idea who has the contract

Yorkshire B7RLE 1105 arrived from Heckmondwike into Durham yesterday.

There are rumours of former Yorkshire E200s 1329/30/31 going back south soon, 1330/1 are in Durham’s scrap pile, unsure where 1329 is.

The Ecocities look to be leaving in a few weeks and could well be bound for Runcorn, with Yorkshire expecting Pulsars from NW I wonder if there could be some 3 way swaps going on…

Watch this space!

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!
