@mimikkiki The American left? What the fuck are you talking about. There's no such thing.

[Northern Bus Driver @BusNorthern]

@Keir_Starmer Stop trying to appeal to the right and maybe your party might not die.

[Northern Bus Driver @BusNorthern]

@papa_cars fuck off, fascist

[Northern Bus Driver @BusNorthern]

Great stuff. Think the line should be more ambitious but I know it's hard to cut a hole through the middle of an already built town. Still it's great for Washington.

[Kim McGuinness @KiMcGuinness]

Huge news for our region. The Metro is coming to Washington. 🚊

We’ve secured £1.85bn transport funding for the North East and it is a game changer.

I’m getting on with the job of delivering the world class transport network our region deserves and creating real opportunity.

@papa_cars I don't give a shit about Labour.

[Northern Bus Driver @BusNorthern]

@Simontimofish @KiMcGuinness Shut up.

Suspended Go North East drivers have exclusively spoken to the BBC about safety concerns

It comes as Unite the Union is consulting workers on potential strike action

GNE tells me suspensions were in accordance with established procedures

More in my report here

[Unite - North East, Yorkshire and Humber @UniteNEYH]

⚠️ Staff at @GoNorthEast threatened with dismissal. Safety of drivers & passengers in danger.

Unite Officer Dave Telford “Once again, communities are being betrayed by Go North East. Passengers are being put in danger by this approach to safety."

Go North East bus drivers could potentially STRIKE after staff faced dismissal

@UniteNEYH has told the BBC that workers were threatened after raising safety concerns

It comes as whistleblowers told me they were forced to drive buses with warning lights

@NEAdrian7 The Union has sent a letter to the company saying they need to stop making us drive double deckers with no CCTV upstairs. The local councils must be using a crop sprayer plane to put the salt down.

[Northern Bus Driver @BusNorthern]

Been actively writing down bus faults for the past 2 weeks now. I've only probably had 4 buses without faults since I started going it. That's at least 2 buses a day for 10 days.

[Jim Scott @jimscottjourno]

Engineers at Go North East say there aren't enough of them to repair buses contributing to cancellations

The bus firm denies this as it says it’s recruiting ten more to support the team

But shops in Stanley caught in middle say they're losing cash as punters simply can't get in

@SCThorley @BBCRichardMoss @KiMcGuinness @BenHouchen Simple, just put a bus on it, it's the same thing.

[Northern Bus Driver @BusNorthern]

@BBCRichardMoss @KiMcGuinness @BenHouchen Trackless tram, aka a bendy bus.

@notliamanders0n Time to turn Threads into a documentary.

[Northern Bus Driver @BusNorthern]

Wor Ben blaming it on the winter weather. Doesn't explain the problems during the summer, and honestly, I don't see Arriva or Stagecoach with the same problems.

1989: Sunday diversions via the #Leamside line were common in the late 80s and on 22 January 1989 we see a 47 crossing the Victoria viaduct, the line's most famous landmark, on the 0955 (Sun) Newcastle - Poole.
