RE: Tyne and Wear Metro - DanPicken - 29 Nov 2015
(29 Nov 2015, 8:17 pm)Dan I don't profess to be 'Mr. Perfect', and there's no need to apologise for making a mistake, but the chances of me not knowing where a Go North East bus is at all times is pretty slim!
There's no need to respond aggressively to Marcus. If you have a problem with him - keep it off this forum. Thank you, dear.
I thought something like tracking would only be available on GNE Computers.

The Go-Ahead Group uses MiX Telematics as its telematics service-provider:

You can read more about MiX Telematics on the link below:

All vehicles can be tracked online, live and historical, and mobile phone applications exist with the same functions.

Does that mean anyone can track them or not?

As Dan is an employee of Go North East; he has access to vehicle tracking systems such as AVL and MiX. I understand the systems have a password, and can be accessed remotely on any computer/laptop as a result.

Slightly different!
Drivers will only be able to view their "driving score" on their version of the app, and see where over-speeding, harsh acceleration and harsh braking events have taken place on a map.
(29 Nov 2015, 8:26 pm)DanPicken Does that mean anyone can track them or not?
No - certainly not. There's only a handful of people with access to this system.

One Stanley driver wont get a good report then. Does all 3 of those things.

The systems can indeed be accessed via password on any computer/laptop. Arriva (and Deutsche Bahn) use HAFAS/Hacon.

Think we're getting a bit off-topic now, though! At least we have confirmed that a TEN double-deck was out for more than one run on the 901, eh? Hahah...

Come on, Dan... You should know not to start a sentence with a connective!

Service has now resumed and trains are running between Chichester and South Shields in both directions but are subject to delays of up to 15 mins. This was due to a vehicle hitting a Metro bridge. Please leave extra time for your journey.

There are delays of up to 15 mins between South Gosforth and St James , up to 15 mins between South Hylton and Airport, this is due to a vehicle hitting a Metro bridge.

Seems to be on the green line every day!
It's been my ride to or from work five times in the past two weeks, and the days where I haven't been on it, I've passed it!

There are no trains running between Monument and St James in both directions, this is due to a track fault. We will update you once we have more information.

I was on it the other day, it was better than the refurbished ones..... shows how much worse they got after refurbishment.
