From Monday 15th February until further notice, Go North East will be operating a handful of journeys on service 46 (Newcastle to Featherstone Grove), 51 (Newcastle to Whitley Bay) and 51a (Newcastle to Holystone Park) on behalf of Arriva Northumberland's Jesmond depot who are currently undergoing a staff shortage due to a number of Positive Covid tests.

More testing times, this time with @PelicanYutong ’s electric single decker as we continue trials ahead of future investment in zero emission for

Great to have a drive for a change - and a nice drive it was too

Ex  Go North West B7RLE seen outside reliance depot at Sutton on Forest on Saturday partly rubbed down First livery. Not sure which one as I couldn't stop but noticed the registration started MX05 and by time I returned past the dept it had been put inside and the depot was locked up.

Think those east yorkshire deckers arriving will be to help out on metro replacement from the 14th of febuary 41 buses are being used from riverside so I suspect extra buses will be used/saurced from other depots

Not yet noted as far as I have seen, is the return of 5236 from East Yorkshire.

It will be used as a Driver Training vehicle (alongside 5210), now that Go North East is recruiting for driving staff again.

Temporary resurfacing works in Park Lane Interchange


From Sunday 14 February 2021, for around a week, there will be some road resurfacing works in Park Lane Interchange.



Only Stagecoach have post so far and it only effects their X1 service:

When GNE/Arriva post - it'll go in this tread.

Just thought we could have a thread that records any 'wrong' tracking info and keep a log of what it actually is, until they get resolved.

One from me is Redcar's 1561 is currently tracking as 354 - it's on the X4 today

621 and 623 have returned to Yorkshire, transferring to Wakefield yesterday.
1429 and 1430 have returned north I believe they're at Redcar.

7410 and 7411 are currently on loan to Durham.
2822 has transferred from Jesmond to Darlington this week too.

Wonder why GNE have gained 671/674 from East Yorkshire?
