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

It's something I come across as a problem sometimes when making the odd thread and there's no real place to stick stuff like the ZEBRA 2 thread a few weeks back.

Could it something we could possibly have? Threads such relating to things as branding would be better placed in there rather than it being in one of the sepatate operators which usually just goes into a discussion whether Arriva or GNE is better anyway until the wannabe mods come along and moan.

Maybe it could be something like:

Vehicles and Allocations
Bygone Era and Bus Rallies

To replace the bottom two forums, both are pretty much unused anyway, would help for stuff like the Great North Run, Metro Replacements etc which are all over the place currently aswell. If the bus rallies was to be kept separate maybe have it as a sub forum under the Bygone.

I noticed that a former colleague mentioned that Bensham is shutting and departments moving to Riverside.

Now, surely it would have made sense for this to happen before now when Riverside was built? From my visits to Riverside, there was definitely scope for more departments to be based there.

Dose anyone know what is tracking as SPRR it was on the 63 yesterday and also is today

The first of many E300 have started to arrive at Darlington depot in the shape of former Manchester example 2749 CX58 EWA

Nexus have a consultation for the 594 to basically retime it to 20 minutes later

So insted of it being 17.20 it would now be 17.40

I see Roger did a webinar about secrets of a successful bus operation this week and since I know there are loads on here who are fans of his, link is below.

Having seen clips of old BBC & Sky Channel Idents on YT, i was wondering if there is any Ai video software that could create a custom Ident.
