Out of curiosity, how much would it cost DCC, Nexus etc... to remove unused bus stops and shelters.

Does anyone know what at Redcar is tracking as 7609? At the minute 7609 has 2 ticket machines one at Blyth (the correct one) & one at Redcar (unless it can magically teleport between the X11 to Newcastle & 63 to Middlesbrough which is impossible it's not 7609)

Saw Solo 2837 NIS on late Friday afternoon sporting the beginnings of a new livery. Under streetlights, it looked a bit like Nexus grey, with no sign of any Quorum logos.. Presumably a work-in-progress.

Is anyone any good with hanover? How do you get top line bigger than botton line on front and how do you upload logos into it?

Almost all our services are running to their normal timetables, so we’re for here when you need us during the national lockdown. However, we are making minor changes to a small number of evening and seasonal services which are not required during the lockdown.

Any service not listed below will be running to its normal timetable.

Good to pop by our Consett depot this evening. Great work by our team here with the move of the Coast and Country 78’s from today. It’s gone really well. Thanks to everyone involved.

Looks like the 8/78 have stopped interworking because of the move.


5402 - 5409 - looks like they've moved to Consett for the 78.

Hi, can anybody help?

Would I get the 94 there from Gateshead College and then get the 93 back from Team Valley to Gateshead Interchange?

Probably thinking WTF writing this haha! But, will there be a Boxing Day offering this year?

If so, will there most likely be a lesser offering than usual?

This got me thinking and I seen a similar thread on a different forum and it was interesting some of the results which come up. Basically the question is about where there's multiple services using a specific corridor which are really uneven resulting in massive gaps between services.

To give an example in Holywell there are 2 services in an evening heading towards Cramlington however one is at xx:25 and the other xx:28 which means there's a service 3 minutes, then 57 minutes which is probably unbeatable for 2 buses an hour between 2 points.

Is there any others about? I believe Low Fell has a bit of a problem in an evening with 3 or so services then nothing for 20 minutes and what's the highest gap which exists in a day time service where there's more than 1 bus an hour? Operators are irrelavant for this so you can't do it only Arriva when there's a GNE service inbetween doing the same route etc.

Once this vehicle has been trialed and perhaps after a stint on the X9 & X10, what will the likelihood be of this vehicle being loaned to other operators as a demonstrator?
