Small thing I've noticed with the North Tyneside one is that it is split into two parts of the route during the day

Anyone know when the Boxing Day schedules are due to be released.

Does anyone know what go north east pay rate is like including up to top rate?

NK17 GJJ (5472) has broke down on the 1 this morning (29/11/21), was sat at the Bus Stop with the Engine Door open with steam coming out

Im sure this has been mentioned on her before but last night i was waiting for the 28b back home in the freeze rain and ice of market street. no shelter and now they've decided to put a bus stop not in use sign on the bus stop, although it quite obviously isn't as i got on the bus there,,,, anyway when my bus  pulled in it was heaving which is very unusual., when i got on and paid i mentioned that it was unusual to have this many and the driver told me they had turned around a 56 at Gateshead due to late running. that when the30 odd people at the bus stop started asking him if he had seen a 56 as they had waited from 730pm and it was now after 8.  They were not happy!!

to give the driver his due he was honest about it and told they what had happened rather than the normal shrug of his shoulders.

He also said chester le street were 27 boards down yesterday ( not sure what that means)

and the reason the 28, 28a and 28b dont run from eldon square is due to SNE wanting more space for their buses at GNE expence.
