I'm a little confused about the coaches based at Jesmond depot at the moment for the 685..
they've had 1201-1206 which is 6 coaches for 4 different 685 slots however in the last couple of weeks I've seen 1211 and 1212 which are or at least were Ashington based, on the 685, anyone explain it?

1202-1204 have been sold, so 1211 and 1212 have permanently moved to Jesmond for the 685. 1212 is still in it's old Coast and Castles Connections branding, and is the only bus still to carry it.

Are you sure? because 1202 was on on friday, along with 1206, 1211 and another coach I didn't make out very well(wasn't 1212)

In relation to my question about the coaches on the 685..

Yesterday I noted 1202, 1205, 1206 and 1212 all on the route. which suggests that it is 1201/1203/1204 that have been sold. This is unconfirmed though.

I was under the impression that the Moorsbus network was being completely withdrawn and wouldn't be operating at all in 2013, unless it's just a drastic cut in the level of service provision.

What an awful service Arriva provide, or rather don't provide. Already having cut the service to Evenwood to two per hour with a ridiculous 36/24 minute interval in October, they can't now even operate that. Waiting at Evenwood this morning for the 6 to Bishop Auckland, two buses didn't turn up, although a lady who had waited for longer said one had gone to Cockfield but hadn't come back. So asked the driver of the next bus to Cockfield what time he'd be back ... He said he wouldn't as he was late so he'd be going back direct. We got on and went via Cockfield and then direct to the A688 and back to Bishop via the West Auckland bypass, omitting Evenwood, West Auckland, St. Helens and Tindale Crescent, thus not going past any other passengers who'd been waiting for more than an hour. Come on Northern, extend the 18 to Evenwood. And come on Traffic Commissioners, do something about this third rate service Arriva fail to deliver. Yet they still persist with the totally unnecessary X1 from Crook to Darlington.

And further to my last post, by 3pm Arriva seemed to have given up any buses past West Auckland on the 6 (last one to Cockfield was scheduled for 18.48 today according to Traveline). They really are crap. At least there's Scarlet Band who's 85 Bishop - Barney goes via Evenwood & Cockfield every couple of hours.

I never understood the logic behind increasing the frequency of the 6, and losing the 6A. For the sake of an extra bus per hour between Durham, Bishop Auckland, Woodhouse Close Estate and West Auckland, I agree it just seems to mess up the level of service for those travelling to destinations beyond West Auckland. The loss of easy-to-remember "clockface" times for buses to/from Cockfield isn't ideal really.

JSB already run the established 9 service from Bishop Auckland to Cabin Gate and going around Woodhouse Estate. I agree it would be nice to see the 18 extended south to join the OK1 through St Helen Auckland and West Auckland to offer an enhanced 15 minute OK frequency and improve choice for passengers.

So there's no replacement bus company running the Arriva services today?????

Services 44, 45 Newcastle – Dinnington - GNE are running it.

That's all i know sorry

No idea, Don't fancy going though to Newcastle today, what was on them last year?

Weardale operated the services last year, mighty smart vehicles they used to!

Yes, I enjoyed driving the 44/45 Haymarket - Dinnington for Weardale on the last two Boxing Days, it made a change from trundling up the Dale ...... and it was loadsa money too!

"Saltwell Park" Optare Versas ran the route today.

I didn't know its layout had changed since it was built either! Good find, cbma06. I'm loving all these old pics you're finding lately!

I read in an old Beamish brochure (not that old though) that the old Durham Bus Station sign was either given or purchased by Beamish museum and there were going to make a bus station up and put the bus station sign up, i think it was when beamish was going to expand out, but havnt been to beamish for years, has anybody been and seen it or know anything about it?.

I went to Beamish Museum quite frequently in the summer. I loved the trams, old sweets and the (now not-so) recently built fish and chip shop, so it was an ideal day out.
It's actually where my Flickr profile picture was taken!

One of the very first pictures I took of a bus, I think... January 2009! :L

I've not seen anything about Durham Bus Station anywhere though, and I assume my mam didn't either when she went with me (she knows I love buses so she would have pointed it out should she have seen anything). Will be interesting to find out some more info if anyone does know though!

Beamish was going to extend the Town section out and the small bus station was going to be included with the old sign.

Ive emailed Beamish to find out, but let you know on here of the outcome, probably be in the begining of the new year.

im going to have alook and see if i still got that brochure
