Our buses, not many of them admittedly, are still running and drivers still doing the very important job of keeping those who need to travel to do just that. Can't be easy? Be good to hear if anyone has anything to say about Arriva in the unprecedented and troublesome times

I haven't been on them but from what I've seen there's not much to really say. Stuck with one timetable, mostly carrying fresh air and gone for a different approach to GNE in having larger vehicles than usual on the routes ie. deckers on the 52/53/54 (Jesmond) and full size singles on the 1/2 and 57 (Evening / Sunday) at Blyth. Other than that not really any rare workings and mostly not too different to a Sunday timetable bar a few services less frequent ie 308 and Blyth Expresses.
