Least the new arriva drivers may have people skills and know how to identify what a bus stop looks like and a timetable

(08 Apr 2024, 6:21 pm)Dan I understand a former Go North East manager, who became a driver at Arriva Jesmond, has recently started at Gateshead Central Taxis as a manager and recruited a number of ex-Arriva drivers.

I would say overall that is postive

In the business industry you headhunt the best or reliable and dependable I would do the same

And @Dan3942 I hope you do the same too when you win contracts and expand. As with any business you need a team you can trust and depend on and depending on the business innovative and wanting the business to grow you want team you can depend on a trust Smile

Pint or pints plural? The latter might be the real reason behind the land speed record journey, Ambassador!

I'm not sure I'm keen on the Galaxy Radio party tunes they're playing on the 342 this evening. There is an older guy with a walking stick that looks like he approves more than me though ?

Most of the GCT services have the radio on, even the new E200s seem to have them fitted.

I think I’d ask the driver to change to 6 Music or 5 Live. That’s acceptable to my ears, if I was on said bus.

Galaxy?! Was it some sort of back to the future bus that took you back to 1999?

Had a driver playing 'I wanna sex you up' on a Washington minibus back in the day.

Mind, on a Gateshead away trip (think it was West Brom), the driver had some sort of rave megamix on.

This is one of Durham County Council's 'Link2Work' services - they've been running for about a month or two now but as they've been running free of charge, there's been no need to register them until now as fares will apply from July 1st.

Stanley Travel has one from the Stanley area to Consett/Templetown, whilst Hodgsons have some to/from Aycliffe.
