I nearly fell through a seat on a Pacer when I was with my brother. I wouldn't be able to get a refund because it wouldn't be their fault that I fell through a badly maintained seat. RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - June 2015 - Michael - 13 Jun 2015 Go North East still need to remove the Soccer bus from the tabs for branded services, same as the Great Park, since technically the "Great Park" brand isn't on any vehicles......

Even though there's no vehicles branded "Soccerbus", the name is still carried on in marketing and suchlike. There was only one vehicle branded in the later years anyway, but the PVR was greater than that. Great Park will be removed next month.

I'll wait until you are out of site before going around Wrekenton from now on RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - June 2015 - G-CPTN - 13 Jun 2015 Just waited in vain at Corbridge 'Station Road' from 17:08 to 17:48 for a TEN towards Hexham - as it was raining - without one turning up. Should have been a TEN @ 17:00 (so probably just missed it) and one at 17:30 (definitely didn't arrive or pass me). By the time I walked into Corbridge (in drizzle) the 18:00 TEN caught up with me . . . There were a dozen folk that got off the train from Newcastle heading for the Angel (in Corbridge) who would have joined me on the 17:30 if it had turned up but ended up walking.

How long was a B9 on the 688 for today? The 11:43 from Hexham, and the return journey, was operated by 5210.

I must tell you that you are wrong - I had 5210 and it was a cracking route. Allendale is a lovely place but the cafe there is very expensive. Would thourougly recommend the route! Also, has 4843 been withdrawn yet, I saw it on the X25.

If 4843 is in service, it most likely has not been withdrawn.

Perhaps it has returned to cover for missing vehicles.

Can't wait to upload my photo of "TEN" branded Volvo B9TL/Wright Eclipse Gemini 2 6078 (NK62 FHE) on the 688, given that I was wrong! It was allocated to the following:
