Hi,
As a bus enthusiast living in the North East, I feel like I should make a mark on this part of the forum by sharing knowledge of the bus operations in my region.
The three main operators are Go North East, Arriva North East & Stagecoach North East.
Go North East are the biggest operator in the North East, and operate services in pretty much every area, bar Teeside. They have depots at Gateshead Riverside, Deptford, Chester-le-Street, Stanley & Percy Main. There are also 'mini-depots' at Consett, Hexham, Peterlee & Crook.
Arriva North East operate the majority of services in Durham (and south of there) and north of Newcastle. They have depots at Ashington, Blyth, Jesmond, Belmont, Stockton, Whitby, Redcar & Darlington.
Stagecoach North East operate mainly in Newcastle, Sunderland, South Shields and Teeside, with respective fleets in each area. Depots are located at Walkergate, Slatyford, Wheatsheaf, Hartlepool, Stockton & South Shields.
Hopefully this will be of use to some people. I will also post here any major fleet movements across any of the operators, as well as the daily odd workings.
Many thanks,
Marcus
