North East Bus Stations
You'll never see intu or John Lewis give up that car park on Percy St.
(26 Jan 2016, 7:46 pm)G-CPTN I have searched - but failed to find any estimate of finishing dates.

(26 Jan 2016, 7:47 pm)citaro5284 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?
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.

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.
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.

(01 Apr 2016, 3:27 pm)GX03 SVC 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"...!
(01 Apr 2016, 3:29 pm)BusLoverMum So why just DC instead of ADC? It just seems odd, dropping any reference to the A.

(01 Apr 2016, 3:33 pm)South Tyne Lad Haha yes, its pretty pointless changing it.
I'm not sure why theve dropped the A, They might be a reason behind it.

Maybe if the bus doesn't turn up, no-one knows who the operator is by looking at the departures board
