Chester Depot needs saving!
It has been a feature of Gateshead, home to many buses and their drivers, for years and now they wish to tear it down. We need to raise our voice's and let The Northern know that we are not letting them take a piece of our history.

I spent the morning walking by the depot and thinking about the drivers who have worked there for decades. The silence from the company is frustrating but I am currently drafting a formal response to the board to demand a meeting about this demolition.

Seeing this kind of momentum confirms that I am not the only one who refuses to let them erase our neighborhood history. The level of response shows how much this place truly belongs to all of us.

save this Depot as bus services will suffer in birtley if it closes and think of all the staff who do not have cars to get to another Depot
25 yrs at Philli, 20 at Chester no one from management at the top or depot, said goodbye or thanks for the 45yrs of service. So Lads and Lasses fight for the Depot if i was still there i would be first on the Picket line. Bless you all keep well and good luck.
another depot lost to greed by management, 109 years of history gone, shame on them for ripping the heart out of a thriving town.
Good luck on saving the depo its been in the community for nearly 100 years needs listing providing buses to service the community for years yes the depo is not suited for such an big fleet but needs to stay even if its re perperpus as an museum or and smaller depo of an smaller company

Local drivers shouldn’t be forced to travel miles out the way just for work. Especially with cost of living right now.
