(26 Aug 2016, 4:07 pm)Dan I find it's down to the driver, rather than the company. I've experienced many 'overly cautious' drivers who work for Arriva, at Belmont Depot. From the outside looking in, it seems to be a bit of a culture issue.
Even on the Durham Road corridor, you'll find a lot of Arriva drivers on the X12 will happily sit back and get later and later, taking their time and letting the Angel pick up all of the passengers. It's bizarre.

(26 Aug 2016, 7:10 pm)Ambassador I've heard training drivers tell route learners on the X12 to stay behind the 21. I tend to catch the X12 that gets into Newcastle around 7.30am, they get a break on arrival and tend to floor it to get in.

(27 Aug 2016, 8:40 am)Adrian It makes you wonder why? It's a corridor with competition, and surely the aim should be to 'win' Go North East's customers. What is the point otherwise?It's a few hours out, away from the hustle and bustle of Durham (or Stockton) and away from prying eyes.

The 309 were apparently 2 hours late then on coast road a tiny solo 2834 was already packed takes atleast 20 passengers then 2 cobalts go by nis people ended up getting 38 to Newcastle from a few stops along the road.

Went to buy a bottle of water in Tesco Express in Durham, paid it and took the receipt, forgot the bloody bottle though! That's 53p down the drain. Generally concerned about my state of mind as these sorts of occurrences are becoming more common.

(28 Aug 2016, 8:43 am)GuyParkRoyal Go North East's efforts on the 309 was a disgrace (even making allowances for the traffic). Go North East seemed to put all their efforts into Tall Ships Park & Ride to the detriment of their normal services. Park & Ride had an army of supervision and customer service staff and even their recovery truck on standby but they could not get a 309 to Blyth for over an hour and a half.
I think I will try Nine Bar to see if it is as bad as the GNE 309.

My cock-up is really causing me problems now, on a incredibly warm full 20 to Sunderland. The joy...

(29 Aug 2016, 5:28 pm)BusLoverMum There's one particular driver who is always late, even with no good reason to be. I encountered one who was already running late who found something to faff with every time he stopped to pick up passengers. Definitely annoying if you're hoping to connect with something else.

Kids, ya cant beat them...Its a shame
My kid...
Went to see Darlo today...thats all good...we won 3-2...
We go for something to eat in Manchester after the game, when we are about to leave Mrs F asks 'does anyone need the toilet' Me and the little'un say no...
Within 2 minutes we are back at the car, the bairn decides she wanted a wee, despite being desperate apparantly, our lass tells her quite comically 'drop your knickers here' quite rightly the bairn would not squat in the car park...
She could not have been that desperate as she managed to wait till we got back to Wetherby...
Also annoying is listening to Megan Trainor - ba ba bass(as the little'un calls it) and The Cookie Monster signing C is for Cookie(which is so annoying it makes me laugh)
