It might be of interest to people on here that there was a Westminster Hall debate on 'Provision of Bus Services in the North East', moved by Liz Twist MP for Blaydon. You can view it online here: https://www.parliamentlive.tv/Event/Inde...96f700099e

9000 staff from Benton Park View (Longbenton) and Waterview Park to move to a new nine story office block on Pilgrims Quarter in Newcastle: https://www.skyscrapercity.com/threads/p...-176212733

A massive opportunity to get people onto public transport, as they're going from two sites with a lot of parking, to one with I guess not a lot. Lots of local journeys will turn into more typical commuter journeys.

GNE Nightbuses

Imo GNE should guarantee a connection between 

N21 (towards NCL) & N56 (towards SUN) 

N56 (towards SUN) & N60 (towards PKS) 

N60 - Sunderland - Normal Route to Mill Inn - Dalton Park - Murton - Deneside - Seaham - Parkside Every 60 Mins PVR 2 

N56 Sunderland the same till Concord - Washington - Same 

N21 same 

NX1 - Same except Upto Dalton park PVR of 3 

N20 Sunderland - Durham PVR of 2 (Meet up with 60/56) Platforms CDE at Parklane 

Also with Spider Man No way Home releasing X66 should run from the MetroCentre to Gateshead to connect with the 56/21, when it finishes.

I think the connection between N56/N60 should be 100% guaranteed.

I’ve seen on Facebook tonight that East Yorkshire 367 & 368 have transferred to Go North East and are currently parked at Riverside Depot.

Presumably these are to replace outgoing Citaros and / or OmniCitys.

Is there a reason the tables on 6338 (and maybe the other vehicles in the initial batch) haven't had the new table design retrofitted?

Can you?

I was on one of the streetlights last night, and it had a extra mirror near the door side, anyone know why that is the case?

Apparently 9056 has been spotted in a red livery
Possible voyager for Consett?

Lumiere returns to Durham from 18 until 21 November, with a programme of 37 artworks that will extend beyond Durham city into the wider county for the first time ever.

Highlights will include a newly-commissioned work in collaboration with Durham University, New Writing North and leading international poets, whose illuminated words will be projected onto Durham Castle, and a video-mapped journey from reflection to celebration on Durham Cathedral’s facade.
