I feel sorry for all drivers today, 

Park Lane Interchange is rammed (Only Stands ABCDEF Open) Imagine if actual sat timetables were on

Metro Bus Station Shut 

X45/X46/47/47A 2/3 hours late. 

Utter mayheim. Wish I was out.

New simplified fares from February 13th, New easier to understand zones and a more simplified choice for passengers, a step in the right direction for making ticket choices easier than ever https://www.gonortheast.co.uk/new-simpli...3-february

Cumbria Easter Rally, Kirkby Stephen 16th/17th April

After much delay, the first of the 3 OmniLink's finally entered service at Darlington depot yesterday (January 25th 2022), this being 761 - photographed working service 7 today: https://flic.kr/p/2mZmXdQ

Interestingly it has retained its Mobitec destination screens

Here's a question.........why do GNE use BCW Blackburn to repaint vehicles (even with no refurbs) when Thornton Bros is only on the doorstep?

Waiting for the 14:00 X21 service from Bishop Auckland Newgate Street Methodist Church  to Newcastle and was very surprised when a GNE generic branded Optare Versa arrived. Makes a change from the X Lines branded Wright Streetdecks that usually operate the route.

Drivers of this forum, what is the worst route from your depot to drive?

Enthusiasts what do you think is the worst route to drive?

Do anyone know whether 39696 is still at Hartlepool depot ? I believe it was delivered there for spares removal about the same time that 39695 went to Sunderland for the same purpose.

If still there, is it visible from the outside or is it hidden away in the corner of the depot. In other words, will I need to pack my hi-vis jacket when visiting !!

Thanks in advance for any info.
