What has amused you/made you laugh today?
Seen someone complaining on GNE’s Facebook page about the 35 that they’re using old buses (mostly 11 plate Versas) and calling the SD Cherry Citaros “newer buses” when they’re 08 plates.
Here’s their comment:
Any reason why the majority of the 35 service is now old style buses which can only cater for 1 pushchair/wheelchair? School runs this week have been impossible, we rely on the bus for school as our son can walk long distances due to disabilities but every day there and back there is already another school run parent with a pushchair using this space,
It's confusing as you have cut many services but have gone back to using old buses when surely that should make more sufficient buses available? the 35 has always generally been the newer buses which caters for 2 pushchairs. How long are these old buses going to be used for?

As I've said before, I care more about the interior spec than the age of a vehicle. I'd happily take a refurbished Omnidekka with tables, 240V sockets, and comfy seats over Arriva's new E400s!

(11 Sep 2022, 7:14 pm)Adrian The Citaros look like a more modern bus, both inside and out. The Versa is a design that hasn't really aged well, plus the interiors (even the Berries ones that were re-trimmed) look extremely scruffy. Have a look at one of the ceilings next time you're on one.
The Versas can cater for two pushchairs or one wheelchair though, so I'm not sure what their complaint is in that respect.

I'd hate to be that guy that dropped the paper at the funeral!

The sweet, sweet delicious irony! Made me chuckle anyway. Nearly choked on my fizzy pop.

Looking on Facebook this afternoon and see this article from the Hexham Courant and it’s my photo I took last October, they could’ve asked at least and not take them without permission and they’ve credited it to Stagecoach. Cheeky sods.

Davey Bowyer will be all over this!
Encountered a driver at Blyth Bus Station who I'm aware seems to be friendly/slightly flirtatious. Too bad he wears a wedding ring
