Busways
Open day at bus depot
Stagecoach Busways in South Shields are holding an open day at the bus depot in Dean Road on Saturday 1st. April to celebrate 100 years of public transport in the town. Stagecoach took over the running of our buses from the Council shortly after deregulation. On show will be a number of old buses including trolley bus 204, recently restored at Sandtoft, as well as stalls and rides for children. The Mayor will visit the depot at 12.00 noon to unveil a commemorative plaque.
This could be an interesting day for those interested in historic transport. Other relics from the past such as Gerry Graham, Steve Foster, Jimmy Foreman, Albert Tate (former bus drivers turned Councillors) are unlikely to be on show.
