Nice video!

STAGECOACH: 💎 quality clips by the way, quite a number I don't think I've seen before. 😇The ultimate beauty and pure diesel beasts of the MAN ALX300s are irreplaceable, however the MANviro 200s and 300s are the best we could possibly get in terms of the last remaining Enviro Diesels. The MANviro 300s do sound strange when upgraded Euro VI though. The GNE and Arriva equivalents would be: Scania Solars, VDL Commanders & Pulsar 2s and Volvo B10BLE ALX300s/Wright Renowns. GNE: Why are they withdrawing the Volvo B8RLE Wright Urbans? Any idea what is replacing them? Oh crivvens - not more Street💩s? GNE already have a massive hoard of 'em! ARRIVA: It's devastating but understandable why MAN EcoCity's have gone to scrap, the ever increasing gas prices would have left Arriva NE no other alternative. Don't know about you but I'm convinced that Arriva are pulling out of the NE even further? METRO/RAIL REPLACEMENT: The more operators that are available to do it - the better? 😉

I can say I officially say I’ve watched this for 2 years 😂. Happy new year by the way!

Just hope that none of the decisions to withdraw certain route brands this year doesn't end up backfiring on them, provided they are able to fill or enable a replacement for any areas left without a single bus allocated to it.

I hope 307/309 gets a refresh, or even just their buses get new Coband and Coast paint on it. The liveries on them is pretty fallen apart

Nice video, just to mention, boxing day had some nice allocations, Tyne Valley 10 on the X22, Xlines Spec on 43/X18/X22 & 307, Party Bus on X21 and for the normal GNE routes, standard allocation for most, apart from X1 having a East Durham Explorer to start with then getting replaced with Sunderland Connect G2's and the RKR 47 being East Gateshead Riders. Started the day with 6361 on the 09:57 X18 to Newcastle from Morpeth as the 08:57 was cancelled, and finishing on the 19:45 X11 to Blyth which was 6310, filmed that leaving blyth to head back to depot, got a flash of lights and horn. Nice to see more GNE in Northumberland as well as Stagecoach entering Blyth for the day.

6:45 My mate Karl is driving that pulsar!

The X20 one was unexpected, rumours with the 20 now getting cut to either durham bus station or University Hospital of North Durham.

apparently X10/X11 will be Streetdecks and e400mmc's, so probably the same for 43/X18/X22

🙏🏻 😢 2013-2023 R.I.P MAN 18.270 EcoCity! What a devastating loss but understandable and sort of expected due to rising Gas prices. The bright yellow training livery will certainly stand out furthermore, it adds more colour to the North East public transport variety! Travelsure are seemingly shutting down because they are short of drivers, they have even started to list the entire fleet for sale with dates of what is available now and when.

Looking forward to it! 😊

I-Squared should have some serious investment ready to be put into Arriva which enables them to launch a fresh recruitment drive for staff, make any life expired fleet available to preservationists before being marked for disposal, ordering new fleet then finally, fight to regain lost routes when the time comes. Just read about Travelsure...there's a number of operators who could probably take the routes being axed on but, we'll have to wait and see who actually wants them.

43 service between Morpeth and Newcastle Use both buses from Ashington and Blyth

Stagecoach West Scotland have got a large number of EVs mostly based at Kilmarnock with a small number also based at Ayr. Have yet to catch a ride on any of them and if there was the choice, I would prefer the Volvo 9900s or BZLs compared to ADLs equivalent. The only gas buses in Scotland are with First Aberdeen who have 7 "70 Reg Plate Wright StreetDecks, running on a choice of either Hydrogen or Electrics. Shame about the gas buses being withdrawn in high numbers although I can understand the reasons why. The Scania K270UB Enviro 300s at Wheatsheaf look pure minted with that "spoiler" on the roof furthermore, I'm very impressed with Arriva NE's MAN 18.270 EcoCitys in appearance and performance too.

gonna miss the GNE Hybrids, they shouldn't have been moved to consett, since moving they've had continuous issues from what ive seen.

North Road bus stops where temporary, but the ones right down by the former gates shopping centre (adjacent to Cex / Poundland now) with digital displays where always there.

North Shields new Transport Hub is beautiful! Sad to see Arriva's MAN Ecocity's and Stagey's Scania K270UB Enviro 300 CNGs be withdrawn, to me they look and sound far better compared to ADLs standard Enviro 200s/300s and Streetlites. What did you think of them though?

Milburngate stops were always there, just to point out. (Going off street view from 2009)

Really feel for all those affected and despite encouragement to use the bus and save money on fuel and stop using the car however, the cuts and cancellations are in reality having the opposite affect.

I love the 60

Great video

Do Buses in Hartlepool

It says RIP

Where is a broken down Enviro 300 MAN in Merseyside

All going to GNE Becoming 351/2/3/4/5

Hi bud just to let you know that 217 is back on the road night on the 92 4:18pm and 5:18pm from team valley

Stagecoach own Walkergate depot outright don't they? Sounds like Arriva's having financial issues or there's a potential proposal to withdraw from the NE further? NEXUS should have backup plans ready to go in case the worst happens nevertheless, the fairest way of moving forward would be to either split the services 50/50 between GNE and Stagecoach (if doable) or, allocate the services to whichever operator has the nearest depot(s) to the 51-55 route running area.

54's the only route through my area, hope stagecoach or someone gets it full time

1499 bus 🚎 From Blyth now

I like that bus

Nice bus. X10 next?

The Walkergate contract for Arriva goes on the 3rd of Sept.

I know it’s sad 😢 Arriva Northumbria has moved to Blyth Likely expansion land on September after walkergate depot closed down but not Ashington Good memories of arriva Jesmond and walkergate I remember

I passed the X75 while i was on the X47, saw it around this area, think it was between half 1 and 2

This is me 🤣

Oh great Bus thanks for the video!😊

Saw this when i was on the X1 coming back up to newcastle from the NNRG Depot Open Day.

both 5499 & 5500 were apparently VOR to have some work done.

Saw this at Central, was debating getting it to Jedburgh then going over to Berwick but instead did something else.

I wish they brought these back.

Miss Blonde since it got debranded.

What

Bright and colourful as always my friend along with some beautiful sunsets! 😊

the south gosforth to airport one was chaos with all the traffic etc. delaying the service by probably half an hour to an hour

will it actually be the diesel yutongs? if so it will be a good chance to get them logged on my bus log.

very good keep them coming your doing a grand job
