Hello,
Does anyone know how much money was raised for Bernardos at the Blyth Driver's Karaoke at Blyth Bus Station?
BTW it was a lot of fun and I hope they do it again - hopefully with more advertisement.
Arriva North East have announced a temporary frequency reduction on the 35|X21|X22 they will be reduced to every 30 minutes Monday-Friday, Saturday and Sunday services will not change.
What are the odds that the temporary frequencies will become permanent?
£4.65m grant available to install state-of-the-art technology that will both display and announce information within fleets of smaller operators.

There is a change coming to the Mayoralty in the North East.
The post of North of Tyne Mayor, currently held by Jamie Driscoll, is being abolished.
In its place is a new vacancy for Mayor for the North East. The area covered will basically be Northumberland, Tyne & Wear and County Durham, excluding Darlington which comes under the remit of the Tees Valley Mayor.
Jamie has not been selected as the Labour candidate and will stand as an independent. The Labour candidate will be Kim McGuinness.
I started this wiki a while ago to allow me to easily share fleetlist onto the site for certain local operators where I used to live in the North West I was interested in tracking. Then I added the North East as I was interested in it cos friends with Tyresmoke it then moved into Staffordshire because yahoo groups closed and I was a mod on a site for news there. Many years ago it was a home built website but that died when I gave up and lost interest as I was looking for something simpler to just click n update.
Since moving I have started to add in South Australian fleetlist for local operators in the area. Also since this site dont do fleetlists anymore I decided recently to add more NE operators to the site so feel free to request any you want adding (will link just the NE section below)

Seen some talking about Hill Street in Newcastle about the number of buses and it got me thinking, which bus stop has the most buses stopping at it where you can board a bus?
This has to be an individual bus stop so not split bus stop or a bus station etc.
I'll start it with the Brandling Arms in Gosforth towards Newcastle and Askew Road towards the Tyne Bridge which both have 36 buses an hour, is there any higher?
