    Grand Central 5th path

    From http://www.grandcentralrail.com/extra-service-to-london It's worth noting that Monday-Friday, this service is only to Hartlepool. Extends to Sunderland on Saturdays though...

    Optare Metroriders Double Querie

    There used to be a whole fleet in Stockton-on-Tees, used for the 7 to Yarm usually. Absolutely awful buses - boneshakers! Not sure if there's still any left there, mind.

    Southeastern "the best, most on-timest railway"

    This is quite frustration. This is a great motivational tool to the staff of SouthEastern, as it highlights how working together and being a part of it helps everything run that little bit smoother. It's not meant to be for us, as it's obviously more about running a good company as one. It's...

    Middlesborough Station

    There are NO services from Middlesbrough to Tees-Side Airport anymore, it is the Darlington - MetroCentre (via Hartlepool) which calls there now!

    Striking during olympics

    In my opinion, it just makes the country look a complete shambles in the eyes of the world. We have one chance to prove ourselves, and there's always someone who wants to ruin it, and in this case those who strike. It's our country and we should be proud to be hosting something of this scale...

    Olympic Bus Transfers/ Loans

    Not much has changed in Teesside & Hartlepool, can anyone tell me if anything has gone down for the Olympics? Only thing i've really noticed is some Service 36's, usually ran by Enviro 300s, are now ALX 300's...

    My idea for a new class system for trains

    Yes, but more floor space equals more passengers. A seat takes up much more space than a standing human.

    Surplus of yellow school buses

    Hartlepool is a prime example of this. On the left, is the new buses HBC use - they have 6 on hand, and they visit Dyke House School, English Martyrs School and various primary schools each day. http://www.flickr.com/photos/31848041@N08/4847678546/ (not my photo)

    Night buses

    Hartlepool is pretty much at a standstill after 6.00PM - last buses along the 1 Route (Middlesbrough - Hartlepool) leaves Middlesbrough 17.45, arriving Hartlepool no later than 18.30. The 1 runs every 10 minutes during the day on a shortened route, and 30 minutely to Boro. After 5.00, it's wind...

    If you were setting up a new coach operation what would be your first route?

    My routes would be fairly short, really. They would operate overnight, and connect towns to events/stages. METRO RADIO ARENA* - NEWCASTLE COACH STATION - SUNDERLAND CITY CENTRE (for Empire) - SEAHAM - HARTLEPOOL - STOCKTON ON TEES - MIDDLESBROUGH SUNDERLAND STADIUM OF LIGHT* - SUNDERLAND CITY...

    Diamond Jubilee Train Services

    I was quite pleased to see Northern making an effort here though, putting 4-car trains on between Newcastle & Middlesbrough for much of the day, with various events up and down the coast! (and yes, that's double what we normally get)

    How busy were your services this weekend?

    Trains to/from Hartlepool & Seaton Carew were pretty rammed all weekend, which was pleasing to see!

    I have worked as a railman for 23 years, my 3 year old son has cancer and my plans.

    Wow, that's all I can say. Best of luck to your little boy, and to your family equally. I have donated, and hope it helps.

    Trivia: Stations that don't sound like they're Spelt

    I don't think it's been mentioned, but Prudhoe. It's pronounced Prudda.

    Awkward Stations to Find in towns

    Great Ayton, not much in the way of signage... i've walked over the bridge before and realised it was only 1-platform, on the other side.
