You'll never see intu or John Lewis give up that car park on Percy St.

Thanks for letting us know, any idea how long it will take?

I have searched - but failed to find any estimate of finishing dates.

I have to ask with you being our resident Hexham guy......are you in favour of the new bus station and where it is going to be built, or would you rather keep the old one?

As a conservative (and a crumbly) I don't want the bus station to move from its current position.
There was scope (many years ago) to expand the current site east to embrace the long derelict George and Jobling garage (which burned-out in a fire some 40 - 50 years ago), but the Council dragged their feet until the site was granted planning permission for housing (which never happened as the owner who acquired the site died).
The justification is that 'it would be too expensive to acquire the site' - and NCC will get paid for selling the bus station site to Dysart and using the site at Loosing Hill (owned by NCC) for the new bus station.
In the pipeline during the year is the complete closure of the main road into town from the A69 trunk road, Rotary Way, for six weeks to allow for the re-waterproofing of the bridge over the railway line.
There will be massive disruption on Corbridge Road as work begins on the new bus station, which includes work on the two mini-roundabouts closer to the site.
Improvements to the pedestrian crossing on Station Road are also scheduled, along with the resurfacing of Alemouth Road.

Whenever I go past (on the bus)it always seems like a hive of inactivity.
The site is surrounded by solid fencing, so it wouldn't help to walk past.
RE: North East Bus Stations - eezypeazy - 14 Mar 2016
From observations, the workers on the site put in a shift on Saturday...
There's a very large impenetrable fence around the site, so it's difficult to see what's happening. I thought I saw work with perimeter kerbs, but I might be wrong. I understand there won't be any incursion into the roads nearby during the first three months, which gets us to May.

Team Valley 'Bus Station'.
A neglected and underused facility, with surrounding stops built nearby.
I propose the station is reintroduced and made in to a two-way facility.
Northbound services along Kingsway to turn left in to the facility and then exit via Tenth Avenue.
Southbound services (inc the X32) to use Tenth Avenue, the bus station and loop via Kingsway roundabout.
Improvements to pedestrians access to Retail World too, using space alongside the Halfords store.

So, not only does peterlee bus station have the 21a and 22 down for the same stand at the exact same time, it has all arriva services labeled DC.
I could be scratching my head for a while about that one.
RE: North East Bus Stations - BusLoverMum - 01 Apr 2016
So the boards at Durham now say DC instead of ANE, too. They weren't working at all, on Wednesday. Seems a rather odd update, if that's why they were down.
This is the one I snagged at Peterlee, this morning.

DC will stand for Arrivas South of Tyne operations change 2 years ago, They changed all County Durham Depots ( and Redcar and Whitby ) to a new operator licence under the name Arriva Durham County

Although Arriva Durham County and Arriva Northumbria use the name "Arriva North East". Durham County Council haven't done themselves any favours changing to DC when it used to be ANE... especially when nobody calls it "Durham County"...!

So why just DC instead of ADC? It just seems odd, dropping any reference to the A.

Haha yes, its pretty pointless changing it.

I'm not sure why theve dropped the A, They might be a reason behind it.

It does make having the abbreviation for the operator a bit pointless from the passenger point of view.
RE: North East Bus Stations - northern156 - 01 Apr 2016
Maybe if the bus doesn't turn up, no-one knows who the operator is by looking at the departures board

Durham county is what 'DC' stands for, meaning Arriva Durham County probably
