6310 was at Gateshead this afternoon, couple of drivers had just got on before I got the photo, presumably doing familiarisation as it was gone when I went past in the car on the way home.

Obviously a result of the disruption in Durham today but there's more Angels in Gateshead at the moment than there are in heaven ?

Coincidentally, 6051 had repaired panels on Offside Rear panel in March as per photo: https://www.flickr.com/photos/ten6083/33513359745

Well I got the slightly delayed on departure 16:17 from ES (I had considered getting the ill fated X9 and begging husband for a lift from Peterlee, before getting on it and 2 X21s hadn't shown and the X12 that I just missed and assumed to be just a few minutes late was actually an hour late!) and it arrived in Durham just a few minutes before another one. (2.5 hours from the Dental school to home - I was knackered!)

Oh 5300 has since gained fleetnames and fleetnumbers since I photoed it this morning. Was two mechanics reattaching those yellow wheel nut indicators when I photoed it.

Just came out of where I live in Hexham near GNE Depot and there is a Saltwell Park bus parked up outside the Depot.

Severe disruption in Newcastle city centre. Metro are accepting GNE bus tickets between Gateshead and Haymarket.

No update from Arriva, so I assume they're attempting to access Newcastle or making their passengers walk or pay for Metro...

Now the QR system is rolled out and it's possible for Big Brother at GNE Towers to see a lot more about our journey/travel patterns, I wonder what sort of changes we will see?
The optimist in me, reckons we will see the return of more direct services and a reduction on services working the hub & spoke model.
The realist in me, reckons we will see further reductions in services and even more consolidation.

I would have thought any bus/rail company that use smart cards would be able to see journey patterns just as much.
Just look at the supermarkets - Sainsburys knows exactly what I buy.

That's the difference, previously cash payers were essentially anonymous once they bought their day/week/month ticket.
They could board a bus, wave the ticket at the driver, use any service, have all sorts of patterns and the operator had no idea where or when it was used.
A cash payer now, could have their travel patterns analysed in a lot more detail.

Arriva are bad at communicating these things. Not a dicky bird about yesterday's disruption in Durham.
