I'd be sad to see it go as well. I worked out of there from 1983 to 1991/2. My dad started there in 1946 & stayed until he retired in 1979/80.

3 that spring to mind 1 - travelling back from South Shields to Sacriston followed a car near Boldon Coliery when it started to sleet. Driver decided to brake and bus went into back of car. I was most concerned about the driver as she was a whiter shade of pale. Seemingly she had just picked...

I know not correct these days but there was always a set of white teeth that smiled as you went past.

We have Service 131 that runs Kelso/Jedburgh - Newcastle, passing through Scottish Borders, Northumberland & Newcastle upon Tyne (Tyne & Wear)

One further thing of note is that in cases like this it may have come to light sooner in normal circumstances as unpaid Court fines are referred for Enforcement. Fortunately Enforcement is on hold for now but Bailiffs will be back knocking on doors etc as from August 24 - next Monday...

Could the old postbuses be considered for this: https://www.messynessychic.com/2018/02/02/oh-to-have-ridden-englands-forgotten-post-bus/ https://www.scotsman.com/news/transport/last-postbus-reaches-end-road-1442044

If promoted better then no reason why not. There are also quite a few like myself who now cannot fly for medical reasons. I have a few plans to travel when it is safe, some using just the train (Eurostar) and others the ferry - have a plan to do train to Plymouth/Portsmouth & ferry to...

For the above you are thinking of Doyle v PRA Group see https://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCA/Civ/2019/12.html for details

Then of course you refer them to Arkell v Pressdram.

Doesn't matter if it is SB it cannot start the clock ticking again. They can keep asking nicely but best response is to write back and advise it is SB and any future correspondence would be treated as harrasment - Ferguson v British Gas is the one to quote.

To me the letter is mixed up as Notice of Intended Prosecution does indeed refer to a criminal prosecution but they then go on to say it may affect your Credit Rating which is to do to with Civil Debts if they obtain a CCJ. One question to ask has the OP moved address since 2014? Otherwise I...

Reminds me of one frosty early morning when there were a line of Nationals all frozen up from the depot in Picktree Lane to Front Street Chester le Street (think the Chronicle had a picture), another time had one freeze on me halfway across the roundabout at the bottom of Jackson Street in...

I used to do the 722/723 service back in the 80's mostly done then with Bristols. Popular shift if I remember rightly was 2 x Newcastle & 1 Darlington. Another was Darlington & back, then bait time picking the bus back up to go back to a round trip to Darlington.

There was Caroline Seagull Coaches from Great Yarmouth who folded in 2008.

And as usual when busy never a "checkie" in sight.

I mainly worked late shift and remember one day in 1986 being the last bus out of Worswick Street and got inundated with passengers. Then a limo arrived and all the members of Queen got out, I probably had a better view than many in St James Park. Others of note were late night shopping on a...

I would imagine there must be some routes which take a fair bit of cash. 35 years ago 2 x Newcastle + 1 x Darlington could cash in £200, X10 to Middlesbrough & X1 back could yield a similar sum. Market days were another busy time even on local routes around Chester le Street. Haven't a clue how...

In days of old there used to be quite a few short routes in the Stanley area - Annfield Plain, New Kyo, South Moor, Oxhill etc

Using the old grey matter in the times when Durham District Services were in existence I seem to remember: Auton Stile - in Bearpark Running Waters - now in the middle of nowhere, think there might be a pub there Blackie Boy - a stop on a roundabout near Durham College in Framwellgate Moor
