Anyone with knowledge of the South Tyneside network know what service(s) used this stop and when did they cease? I've never noticed the stop before and it seems in pretty good condition (paint wise etc). No timetable boards were evident and I forgot to note the stop number.]]>

Eldon Square Bus Station will be closed while Newcastle City Council carry out essential resurfacing work, from 10 until 28 June.

During this period, most Go North East services that usually serve Eldon Square will arrive and depart from Newgate Street instead. This is with the exception of service 74, which will temporarily use Stand Y at Haymarket Bus Station, and services 684 and X85, which will run from a temporary stop located near the Eldon Square Bus Station entrance.

Stops on Newgate Street will be renumbered NG1-NG5 to help you easily locate the correct boarding point. The table and map below provide a full list of stopping locations for effected services.

If you usually board your bus on Newgate Street, your bus stop there may have changed so please use the table below to find out where your bus will stop while Eldon Square is closed.

All other city centre stops will still be served as planned.

Optimised User-centred Transport EcoSystem (ROUTES) trial' worth £900k been approved, funded under the North East BSIP. The initial suggested area is the initial suggested area is around the three-way Northumberland/Gateshead/County Durham border near Blackhall Mill.

It looks to be a 12-month pilot scheme to improve transport in rural areas with poor connectivity, but using a combination of DRT and some fixed-route services. The idea is to connect people to the existing networks, rather than replace, and there's a claim it'll provide up to an extra 95 hours of public transport per week.

Where this seems to differ from other DRT schemes, is that it's ran as a Community Transport service by a consortium made up of Weardale
Community Transport, Edge Innovation, Connected Places Catapult, Rural Design Centre and Derwent Valley Car Club, rather than a tender award as a service contract.

Within the award is funding for the purchase of 5 vehicles (minibuses + wheelchair-accessible vehicles)

I think this links with some of the concerns that Northumberland in particular raised around the BSIP, and areas within that county being left behind, so I'm not at all surprised to see a trial like this take place. There's not a fixed date for this starting yet, as there's some consultation and further research to be had before that, according to the report.]]> NECA delegated decision report from 22nd April 2026, there's a 'Rural

Some of the odd ones here as to the website the following are

51/52 seem to be two different tenders for an AM & PM

The 939 is mentioned twice

Im not entirely sure which 12 they are on about. I thought it was the 12 in South Shields but thats in may as its grouped with the 13

The 67/69 dont share a contract but im not sure its always been the case or not

No 644 so im assuming thats commercially ran by GNE

Also im not sure which part of the 9 is nexus as it interworks with the 8]]>
