For anyone wishing to attend this year's Cumbria & North Lancashire Open Day, it is at Morecambe's White Lund depot. 

The renumbering of service 2 to 100 marks the start of the centenary celebrations this year since the start of Ribble Motor Services. Some of you may have already seen Arriva Bolton's 2596 in Ribble anniversary livery, more happenings and details in the coming weeks.

Morecambe Open Day: Saturday 25th May

New in at Hartlepool is a ADL E200MMC, didn't receive a fleet number as it's parked in the depot.

A large batch of Wright StreetAirs are being delivered. Some for Blyth.

What is used to work the 23:30 57 from Newcastle to Wardley on a Saturday evening considering that GNE also still have the late one running to Hadrian Park on a Saturday?

Also, would it not make more sense to push the last 310 back to 11.25 and scrap the 'abnormal' 57 run?

Sorry for the delay.

This year's Running Day will take place on Sunday 28th April.

The usual applies - the main 'hub' will be the South Side (Middlesbrough) of the Transporter Bridge, the location for the control vehicle, stalls and static exhibits (as of this week, 2 confirmed vehicles for static display only), with routes departing from the site to Middlesbrough and Stockton.

As of Tuesday night, 9 vehicles are confirmed for the running aspect of the vehicle - including the 500 Group's own active duo, Bristol VRT H106 and, fresh for major work over the winter, Dennis Loline 99. With 8 weeks to go until the date, more will be expected.

For the last year, I have been writing down my thoughts on my Mental Health, why I behave the way I do, and what has recently inspired me to get more help in the last few months. If anyone would like a read my site is:-
