I see the Wardley Bus Gate has been a waste of time and money.  Its been filled back over and 57 no longer cuts across to Wardley.

Does anyone know why it has been reverted. I'm not aware of it causing any accidents or delays to traffic on A184.

It got closed off a few months back and I thought at first it was just temporary but this week its been permanently closed and kerbed back off.

According to someone on bustimes, Streetlite 5454 is being repainted into the Coaster livery.
Guessing some will be done up then. Thats if its real

2830 has been transferred to Ashington depot and was working on the 2 today (18/05/23).

4 million loss?, that's crazy

There's been discussion about this on another forum and no-one has a clue but does anyone know if there is one for Arriva North East / Northumbria / Yorkshire lately?

It appears that everyone has quit / retired over the past year (Knox and Pearce) but there's no sign of any replacements or they're staying well hidden from the public at least.

Anyone know?

From Saturday 27 May, we will introduce some service changes in Hexham.

Should these be banned??

Just seen a video on FB of a kids grabbing onto tree branches as the E2? is driving along a street heading to sheilds I think.  Driver in car had to stop bus and tell driver as he though someone could die.

Back to safe single deckers??

When did these annoying pop up ads at the bottom of the screen start?

A recent acquisition by this operator is Van Hool TR10 BUS, ex Cymru Coaches of Swansea.

Saw it in Bishop Auckland bus station today.

I’ve noticed 7530 has been tracking on Blyth Routes. I’m assuming this is a loan or the rest of the 64 plates are coming to Blyth to displace something.
