RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - Dan - 05 Sep 2014 (05 Sep 2014, 3:48 pm)AdamY I like trolls. (05 Sep 2014, 2:07 pm)aureolin Judging by the fact you chose the GCT thread out of all the threads on the forum (and the content of your initial post actually), makes me think you're associated with them. I wonder if there's such thing as a Social Media policy with these smaller firms? RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - Adrian - 05 Sep 2014 (05 Sep 2014, 5:12 pm)Dan I wonder if there's such thing as a Social Media policy with these smaller firms? You'd hope so, but failing that, Nexus will certainly have a code of conduct that they expect their contractors to adhere to. Anonymity on the Internet is a great thing, unless you're crap at it! RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - BUSFAN - 05 Sep 2014 (05 Sep 2014, 2:24 pm)Adam I'm stuggling to understand your logic here. You imply that everyone who has an interest in buses is a "freak". Why? How? On what basis did you come to that conclusion?That reminds me i need a new anorak as its getting cold these days and need to keep warm and some where to keep my notebooks RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - Andreos1 - 05 Sep 2014 (05 Sep 2014, 6:57 pm)BUSFAN That reminds me i need a new anorak as its getting cold these days and need to keep warm and some where to keep my notebooks Are you being serious? Busman1 has converted me, with his passionate opinions. Off to buy a fast bike, find a fast woman, learn how to spell poorly and register on forums, to dish out abuse. The pain in my right wrist won't ease off, due to the incessant riding of my bike - but swings and roundabouts.. Let's all be like busman1, it is the future!

Buying more than one notebook is a waste of money in my opinion. RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - gtom - 05 Sep 2014 Well this amused me. I bet if Busman1 indeed had a fast bike, he'd attempt to operate fast bike on a GCT Scholars Service....

She was standing in the shelter, but I didn't see her (despite making an effort), until I was more or less parallel with the stop. No idea how the drivers can see from the main road! RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - Malarkey - 14 Sep 2014 Anyone know how much a Single or a Day Ticket is with GCT from Washington Galleries to Doxford Park, As I have 2 Job Interviews up there Tomorrow. RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - Adrian - 14 Sep 2014 (14 Sep 2014, 1:05 pm)NEBCD Malarkey Anyone know how much a Single or a Day Ticket is with GCT from Washington Galleries to Doxford Park, As I have 2 Job Interviews up there Tomorrow. They don't do day tickets or returns, and I'm not sure what price it is for a single. I wouldn't have thought it would be more than £6.90 for two singles though, which is what a Day Rover would cost you. RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - Tom - 14 Sep 2014 (14 Sep 2014, 7:40 pm)aureolin They don't do day tickets or returns, and I'm not sure what price it is for a single.

Think i'll get a Red/Purple and go via Houghton on the X1, Then get the X35 from there to Doxford Park, rather than complicate things by using GCT and then waiting around for an Hour if I miss the 37.

Upgrade to £6.90 then you can get either the 37 or the X35/X1? RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - Andreos1 - 15 Sep 2014 Had another response from Nexus in a follow up to the initial complaint re the 37/Biddick Woods. The guy at Nexus gave quite detailed feedback and mentioned there had been another complaint or two about the service not completing its full route. Haven't been about much locally over the last week or two, but have missed the 37 by a few mins on two occasions recently, as it came along the new road. RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - Tom - 15 Sep 2014 (15 Sep 2014, 5:50 pm)Andreos1 Had another response from Nexus in a follow up to the initial complaint re the 37/Biddick Woods. Can we see it? RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - Andreos1 - 15 Sep 2014 (15 Sep 2014, 5:55 pm)Tom Can we see it? Don't say I don't give you owt! Apologies for the time taken to respond but I have been awaiting the result of the investigation by the operator of the 37. RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - Tom - 15 Sep 2014 (15 Sep 2014, 5:57 pm)Andreos1 Don't say I don't give you owt! Cheers Lets hope they learn from it. RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - Dan - 15 Sep 2014 (15 Sep 2014, 5:57 pm)Tom Cheers Let's hope Busman1 doesn't get angry. RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - Andreos1 - 15 Sep 2014 (15 Sep 2014, 5:57 pm)Tom Cheers Two formal responses from the guy at Nexus and a small conversation inbetween - plus the content of the emails, seem to indicate Nexus are taking these things seriously. Have never had the same open dialogue in the past with operators, when discussing an issue from a customer perspective. Generally, you complain - you get an acknowledgement denying the incident/issue happened OR saying something will be done. There is never a conversation or follow up (not in my experience anyway). Kudos to the guy at Nexus RE: Gateshead Central Taxis - Adrian - 15 Sep 2014 (15 Sep 2014, 6:01 pm)Dan Let's hope Busman1 doesn't get angry. Maybe I should call him and let him know? |
