Heres one for us older members of the forum.

I've just been remembering some of the services and operators that came about on or around deregulation October 1986.

Obviously you have the main operators and some of the well known independents such as

OK Travel
Low Fell Coaches
Catch a Bus
Resby Coaches
Hunters

But there are a couple that I can remember but unable to locate details on Google search etc.

These are

North Eastern Buses 
Trojan Travel

Both of these operated in a livery similar to NBC green at the time.

North Eastern operated services in the Gateshead area numbered 91/92 I believe and operated similar to 93/94 loop, so will have been a competition service 

Trojan operated as the Trojan Outer Circle (not sure if there was an inner circle) and this was Heworth to Washington.

Any one remember these and got any info on them?

NB. I may have queried this many moons ago but can't remember responses and can't work out how to direct search either scrolling through everything

With gne having a more proactive social media presence would it not be a good idea to remind people via Facebook  Twitter ext when the short notice cancellation buses are due but arnt running? The  other half waited at market street in the rain for 28b. It hasnt come. Shes now on 56 to gateshead then and getting lift home. Buts shes text me saying nowt on Twitter... but it is on the app in short notice cancellations. If it had been posted on Twitter say before the previous 28a/b was due she would have left early and got that one... or stay out longer and got next one... just a thought...
