Last weekend was the NE1 Motor Show which is in it's 3rd Year now and takes place around Grey's Monument & Grey Street in the heart of Newcastle City Centre, featuring Classics, Sport, Tuners all the way to the newest cars on market from leading car makers such as Bentley, Aston Martin and Porshe who all attended last weekend.

Stagecoach North East: Latest News & Discussion - July 2017
Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - July 2017
27737 on X34, next one off Newcastle.
Arriva Darlington's Frequenta 3/3A/3B branded Optare Solo M950s 2830/2/3/5/6/41 have all been fitted with Next Stop Announcement Systems.
2843 is on the 1/5/5A/12 cycle.
This one is creeping up on us, and I noticed that we don't have a thread!
The Durham Vintage Bus Gathering will be held on Sunday 18th June 2017, at the Howlands Park and Ride site in Durham.
Howlands is located a short walk from the New Inn pub, and can be reached by the Arriva North East 6 or Go North East's X21 service. There will also be a shuttle bus service between North Road in Durham and the rally site. The first shuttle leaves at 1000, and will run every 15 minutes thereafter, according to the timetable on the NEBPT website.
Driver only operation / one man operation on the railway is a bit of a hot topic at the moment, so it surprises me that we haven't got a thread. It has of course been the reason for several strikes on the TSGN franchise, Northern and others. ASLEF have tried to sell a deal to their members twice, and the other union, the RMT, appear to be fundamentally against it.
