Anyone who has access to this website no doubt is an enthusiast and will also no doubt be viewing SNE, GNE and Arrfvas websites who have this information in any case, seems a bit pointless to fill up another database.

We cover every area on North East Buses. Pasting these news articles and disruptions allows for discussion on said items. Admittedly discussion doesn't usually stem off these news articles, but occasionally does.
You saying this is essentially like me saying, 'Why bother with GNE fleet news? We can see it on their enthusiast area anyway.'

Simply put: If you don't like something which is posted, ignore it.
