I Guess since CountryRanger now has 2 Buses done and nearly a third.
I guess the Prince Bishops will be the next one in line to get its branding done up.
that would mean all buses in the South Shields region except the 50 have had either new buses or new updated brands.

Sunderland closures active, E6 running via Newcastle Road/Sea Road. 23 via Ripon Street and Roker Baths Road.

5413 and 5414 are the first 2 streetlites to be brought into action on the 50/26 from today replacing the omnicitys currently used

Just saw a Tweet from MG that Paul Rose has passed away,my thoughts are with his Family and Friends,especially it being so close to Christmas

Hey just wondering what are the pay rates like at Jesmond and also at Ashington depot as I'm thinking about applying. Also what are the chances of Jesmond getting a new express route in future.
