Haven't checked but probs see increases elsewhere in the NE too.

You choose.

People of Biddick not happy that they wont get seats, buggy or wheelchair bays as the Whiteleas bound passengers will still be on board. Similarly those Whiteleas passengers boarding for Shields not happy for same as passengers from Biddick will already be on board

Going to be fun and games but our lovely Kim has only raised concerns about Sunderland 18 and Newcastle 6.  Is this a sign of favouritism from Kim and co?

(10 Apr 2025, 9:29 am)Teessider2014 wrote Yes there will be at least 1 decker - with additional services now being operated on behalf of the TVCA that weren’t expected to be running now they have bid for additional funding from stagecoach group for more vehicles to cover the shortfall. Deckers have been asked for.
