<p>I remember when the 53 ran from Blyth to Whitley bay via 1st/2nd/12th avenue, plessey road, Newsham Black Diamond, Deleval crescent, high pit, Cramlington Shops, then the current route to New York & North Tyneside hospital in 2 hours (6 times longer than the 308 & 309) and was operated out of blyth depot using darts & beavers. That was fun lol. there was a 53A between Whitley bay & Beacon hill but I don't know where via as I never got it<br></p>

Shouldn't they have been converted prior to use on service work? The company have essentially been actively discriminating against wheelchair-bound customers for close to 2 years at this point.

With some Sunday 57A journeys being extended to Ashington, will these continue to be operated by Blyth, or will it revert to Ashington?

The Northern Echo seem as confused as the passenger as the 12 doesn't go to Richmond that's X26/X27, if the 12 was heading in the opposite direction to Hurworth it would be heading towards Middleton St George which leaves from a different part of the Town Centre. By my reckoning TNE have just heard the accounts from the 14 year old and/or parents and printed it with no research into this, it's little wonder they ended up on the wrong bus. Granted not the best just dumping a 14 year old somewhere they don't know but surely better research should have been done prior to this journey being made. |
