Believe Blyth and Ashington drivers and engineers have voted overwhelmingly in favour of strike action in their dispute over pay. 
Likelydates will be early to mid April

7578 is currently tracking as SPRR on the x93

Just curious after seeing photos.....but why did Arriva Northumbria / Durham County end up ripping out the original Proudmutual coach seats out of the 1989/1990 NMS batch of Optare Delta's and instead, replace with bench seating & repaint the handrails yellow / green? Did the coach seats get donated to other vehicles within Arriva Northumbria / Durham County?

Question, i was on the 307 yesterday bound from Battle Hill to North Shields, and we were following behind the 41 (6142 with its dodgy display for Howdon)
and the driver went clockwise around Hadrian Park then back towards Battle Hill, but when he got to the Jolly Bowman Roundabout he went full circle then back along Addington Drive towards Hadrian Park (still displaying Howdon), so my question is this, does it always do that, or had he made a mistake?

It's never ending! 

Hopefully Mr Mayor's pot doesn't run dry.

Durhams 1528 seems to be tracking on the 15 & 16's today. Anyone know why that is? I imagine its a day or 2 loan due to Stockton having a decent amount off the road or is it faulty tracking?

Saw this pop up last night on ITV news - an interesting concept featuring the Interchange at South Shields and tackling anti-social behaviour. A decent video to watch as well.

Bus featured seems to be SNE's 28026 on the E1. I wonder if this was used as a 'stunt bus' specifically for the police and the news report? Hasn't tracked on the evening Es for a while unless anyone knows better. 

If this is successful - we might see more of this especially in ASB hotspots.

Posted this, was wondering if the bus photos page has been taken down, as I can't open it up as it doesn't show on searches, anyone know why? ..... Thanks

1430 is only on loan to Stockton  its not a transfer before sertain people says it as its there till Durham get the x12 back then it returns to Durham
