https://twitter.com/Dan3942/status/14497...83173?s=20 seems to be another set of service changes coming...

Looks like the extension to Amazon in Washington is doing well, spotted this on Dan's Twitter:

Significant passenger growth on our Connections4 service to
@AmazonUK at Follingsby Park has seen additional duplicate runs added to the timetable, with even more to follow from the end of this month. Excellent that so many of their Associates are choosing bus to travel to work

Looks like more Amazon runs are being added, which is brilliant.

As the September changes thread was closed, I had to make a new one - couldn't find an existing thread to place it in.

Yesterday 4 were off and now there is 3, there is only 9 of them. Why is it soo bad.

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
