RE: Whats made you happy today? - BusLoverMum - 17 Dec 2016 (16 Dec 2016, 9:47 pm)Adrian Fantastic news! Is he looking forward to it? He is utterly oblivious to it. The transition process will be a long one! (16 Dec 2016, 9:55 pm)Michael Glad he has the support he needs, sounds like a good school. Terrifying. I'd be scared of stepping on them.

Just don't do anything too drastic with the route branding..... Thank you, it is appreciated Its just work experience at the minute but I would hope that having experience at the company could allow me to develop it into a full time position post-Sixth Form since I have no intention of going to University. I will certainly be preparing a list of suggestions that I could put forward - whether they would necessarily put any thought into them is another matter RE: Whats made you happy today? - Tom - 22 Dec 2016 (22 Dec 2016, 4:44 pm)S813 FVK Looks like somebody will be invading Go North East's marketing department in June. Very happy indeed Very well done. What will your job actually involve then as I guess there are loads of aspects to marketing. RE: Whats made you happy today? - S813 FVK - 22 Dec 2016 (22 Dec 2016, 9:32 pm)Tom Very well done. What will your job actually involve then as I guess there are loads of aspects to marketing. Thank you. I have no idea what it will involve yet but I will need to py them a visit anyway to get the necessary forms filled out although I should be pretty comfortable with whatever is thrown at me given that I have done and I am doing marketing based units at school now.

I didn't think of that RE: Whats made you happy today? - Pulsar - 28 Dec 2016 This Flickr Photo ended up on the flickr.com/explore page and has given me loads of views / faves for a pretty average photo. Never even realized photos went on that page until today when it went from 70 views to nearly 3000. RE: Whats made you happy today? - Andreos1 - 31 Jan 2017 Getting my car insurance under the £300 mark. Next stop under £200. Some folks get it for nowt with these cashback sites and vouchers.

Next stop under £200.Lower than Husband's, but he drives a fairly big car (long wheelbase estate/tourer rather than gas guzzling 4WD) Whats made you happy today? - TEN 6083 - 02 Feb 2017 New buss pass has come today Sent from my iPhone 7+ using Tapatalk RE: Whats made you happy today? - Andreos1 - 05 Feb 2017 http://www.thepoke.co.uk/2016/02/02/story-man-feeding-seagull-train-station-hilarious/ In an era of 'fake news', I dont know whether or not this is fake. I just hope it isn't RE: Whats made you happy today? - James101 - 05 Feb 2017 I had a day out around Nottingham & Derby on Saturday and what struck me was just how happy and pleasant every driver was. I don't want to pretend Trent Barton are God's gift to the bus industry, but I do think their customer service focused stratagy has forced others to up their game in the region too. I rode with Trent, Arriva, Nottingham City & Nottingham Community Transport all the drivers were cheery and friendly. Conversely, the old folk I encountered around there were mean spirited and had a nasty sense of entitlement. Maybe they're still sore about getting hoofed off the Red Arrow. Nottinghamshire & Derbyshire seem to be doing quite well for bus services. Maybe it's down to the mix of operator style: large commercial (Welglade/Trent Barton), municipal (Nottingham City), independent (Your Bus), non-profit(Nottingham Community) & multi-national (Arriva). It seems competition works best when each operator has different goals. When, as per the NE, you really only have 3 massive corporations with shareholders to please - territories are divided up, monopolies are formed and competition is kept as low as possible. Whats made you happy today? - Jimmi - 07 Feb 2017 Just seen the upcoming GNE changes and discovered that the 21 will run 10 minutes later than they currently do on journeys from Durham Bus Station on Sundays which is fantastic news for me as at present I have a 28 minute gap between the 7 arriving in Durham and the next 21 departing, this will now cut my waiting times down to just 8 minutes. Also I very much enjoyed seeing Green Day at Manchester Arena last night, currently on the train back to Darlington now. In fact, for about the last week I've actually been in a rather good mood for some reason, no idea why considering not much different has happened and a few things that would normally annoy me have occurred and it hasn't bothered me at all. RE: Whats made you happy today? - Jamie M - 12 Feb 2017 Finally have become reliably mediocre/good at night pictures. (Go North East) NL63XBC,D / 5372,3 - Wright Streetlite by Jamie MP, on Flickr (Go North East) NK11HDN / 8329 - Optare Versa by Jamie MP, on Flickr Compared to just over a month ago: (Go North East) YN04GJG / 6133 on service 21. by Jamie MP, on Flickr 20161227_210818 by Jamie MP, on Flickr Hopefully the difference is clear. I'm certainly aware of it and I'm even proud of some of the work I've produced. RE: Whats made you happy today? - South Tyne Lad - 13 Feb 2017 Have been told I will be on Work Experience to Heaton TMD in May for Engineering and other things, Just after I come back from holiday. Looking forward to the coming weeks.

Nice, well done, first step in to the real world!, but it all goes down hill from the moment you leave school |
