It also means that not all news has to appear on the forum. A lot of information has always been posted about Go North East, ever since this forum's creation, but the amount of 'news' given seems to have increased massively over the past year or so. Infrequent visitors to the site have to trundle through masses of information which mightn't be particularly interesting nor relevant. The idea is that the less interesting news stories can appear in the news section, but we needn't endlessly discuss boring topics here on the forum, and hopefully that will encourage more constructive posts and some discussion that's interesting/entertaining to read. Quality over quantity, and all!
In time, if you wish to discuss a news article that has been posted, you'll be able to click it to view that individual article and link back to the source here on the forum (as we usually do for ordinary news articles!)
What will be of interest to some (especially DaveyBowyer) is the transfer of Wright StreetDeck demonstrator 9119 (SN64 CTU) from Percy Main to Riverside earlier this afternoon. After a period of driver familiarisation, this vehicle will see allocation to "Tyne Tees Xpress" services X9/X10.
