On Saturday, 23rd October, over a dozen buses of all shapes and sizes will be travelling around the museum site, plus there’ll be a fascinating display outside the Northern General Transport Bus Depot. 

All visitors will need to pre-book an entry timeslot ticket to the museum online in advance of their visit, and also require a Beamish Unlimited Pass or Friends of Beamish membership. Book your timeslot tickets here.

Beamish is continuing to follow government and public health COVID-19 safety guidance and reserves the right to alter events, activities, facilities, operations and opening times without prior notice.

I've noticed a few issues with the bus station at the Galleries:

• Stands can quite busy at certain times
  
• Big Nexus Destination Boards suck on showing departures around 13:15ish (Pre GNE Sep Changes as well)
  
• Escalators seem to break easily
  

Tyne tunnel (going towards South Shields/Sunderland is currently a two way system

Volvo B5LH 6070 is currently parked in PM dept repainted into Roadstripe fleet livery.

A couple to pop out of Blackburn:

6063 also made an appearance on the 16/16A today - just 6061 left to complete the set now.

Bit of a strange one here

Does anyone know what the Kraken Advert is for https://flic.kr/p/2myj4vN

It's on two Arriva buses in Newcastle 
It's on two First Glasgow buses https://flic.kr/p/2mxDFiB

It's on one bus on First Bristol https://flic.kr/p/2mwq4r2

And it's on 3 buses on Lothian buses in Edinburgh https://flic.kr/p/2msUes8

Any idea what the advert is for

Does anyone else keep getting logged out when they close their browser?
I used to stay logged in but recently I have to keep signing back in.

I seem to have the same issue on 2 PCs and a Mac, running Chrome and Edge (Chromium)

Are the Xlines X45/X46 now interworking with the late X15, noticed the Venture solos don’t appear to be on the service in the evening at the moment.

Are there any plans to update the internal branding on these to remove X47 that’s advertised.

I've just noticed there while going through Bishop that the 86D to Toft Hill seems to be ran by Consett Solos now, and has been for a few weeks.

Is this a temporary change due to driver shortages or is it permanent?

7562 has received an advert and looks nice for a bus with an advert
