Delighted to be working with Go North East again, with both printed and online timetables ahead of their 22 March service changes; including a revamped online style making the information clearer and simpler to understand with the addition of a helpful route map too!

A nice relaxing afternoon plodding round between Sunderland and Hebburn. Not long to go before the 599 passes onto its new operator, but it's lovely to hear all the positive praise for the past 18 months of service!

The end of an interesting week and a new rail line ticked off for my replacement work. Definitely one of the more niche lines I've covered, and longest too!

A nice tidy leaflet and a slightly modified web version for Todd's Travel and their SPT contracted service. Just because a service is funded doesn't mean it shouldn't receive the same attention that any other service would; and I believe we have achieved that attention to detail.

In true New Years' style, I'm spending January 1st in Scotland (just) - first time driving a bus here though

A few days in the making, and I think the end result is well worth it - a nice combined map showing the bus, ferry and Metro connections available on Boxing Day this year...let me know your thoughts! we.tl/t-eoG7ljcTaU

Another fun-filled week comes to an end...work for 4 operators this week, in all different forms - undecided whether I prefer being a tram or a metro at this point though

Back again for more pretending to be a tram 😀 - no better way to spend a Sunday evening.

@EYFillingham Always a pleasure 😀

Please drop me a follow on my page - I'm still slightly shellshocked at how far I've come in less than 18 months. Thank you for all the support and here's to more great things in the future!

@DaveFromUpNorth @NorthEastPTUG The whole thing is a shadow of its former self. I remember the 91 (not too long ago) running every 15 minutes all day, then being supplemented by the 90, 92, 933, 937, 939 and 941. I think their downfall was that they were very much a 'in the know' route - not very well promoted

@NorthEastPTUG in 2017 wikipedia states that Team Valley Trading Estate is home to approximately 700 companies on the estate, employing approximately 20,000 people. WHY is public transport so shocking that I cannot see a regular service to Newcastle City Centre at least?

A busy few weeks catching up with work for East Yorkshire and Transporabus - it's great to be getting my stamp out there more and being to help more than ever 😀 If you, or anyone you know would be interested in working together to create some stylish, memorable printed publicity, social media graphics, maps and more, please get in touch - I'm always looking to branch out more!

@mhdpartnership There was one on the NatEx coach station in Manchester for the summer, "the kids on the coach go free, free, free" Whoever is doing the marketing for NatEx has really upped their game!

Only just seen these for @nationalexpress

The latest bit of work hit the roads today 😀 - looking really smart! @GWYbus

Bit late to the party with this one, but a nice collection of the July timetables I've worked on for @gonortheast. The logos within the QR codes were inspired by Go South Coast and really look the part. Here's to the next batch...

It's great seeing the rollout of the new @TheGoAheadGroup branding for @EYBuses & @GWYbus. Only a few more weeks until the West Yorkshire operations expand yet again! Fantastic to have played a part in all of this.

Great seeing everything falling into place 😀

@NorthEastPTUG @ATyldsley I remember hearing that because Great Park is 'private land', bus operators need permission to run the services there, which is the reason the Q3 still goes as close to Great Park as possible with no funding

@ATyldsley The point still stands though. When public transport is run by private companies for profit, decisions are made on a financial basis, not based on what passengers want and what connects people to the destinations they rely on like banks and GPs?

We fully support residents of Great Park in their opposition of removal of the Q3 from the west side of the A1. The service had provided an attractive public offer for residents of the estate. It demonstrates the deep problem with bus services run for profit by private companies

It's been a busy few weeks - really stressful, but I can't stress how much I appreciate the support of great friends (I will never repeat that in person). From timetables (printed and web) to social media graphics, and even some on-bus posters too; there's been a lot to get through in a short space of time, but it's all worth it in the end!
