Just been hell. One was off for about 2 hours sitting at the ferry and I think OCL has double tracked

but that doesn't mean that it's not running. 
Several of the GCT fleet don't seem to be tracking consistently.

Well

Driver I spoke to the next day said that 2 broke down and 1 ticket machine had died so only 1 bus was on the 342. Same case with the 335 that day which only had 2 buses on

GCT up to their old tricks again! Seen a few people on tonight's journey pay with cash, no ticket issued. Would complain to Nexus bus that's a waste of time.

No wonder half of the services they operate end up being cancelled when the Nexus consultations come out.

I'm sure somebody said that they now had to provide card payment options, but twice I've used them on a Nexus service recently and both times cash only.

Nexus have taken fiddling rather seriously in the past from what I've heard so it may actually be worth it this time.

Having said that, was the driver just taking cash and moving on or were they doing stuff with the machine? Could well be the sale was rdcorded, but the ticket didn't print.

I assume they just took the cash and moved on - as two people paid by card and that printed the ticket fine.

Yeah, I've been on a couple of times and they say they don't take card for some reason.

Done. GCT certainly seem to have a lazy approach to the service, hopefully Nexus will follow up.

Think someone at Nexus needs to look at the fact GCT obviously can’t run their current contracts in North Tyneside.

The amount of journeys missing is a joke on a contracted service - still at least one bus missing from the 19, 342 and 335 pretty much every day.

Not to mention they’re using buses which don’t meet the contract specification.

Doesn't matter what we say it won't make a difference. Nexus keep giving them contracts. It would be nice if gct just dropped out of North Tyneside to focus on services in Gateshead & Durham but that will never happen

I can't comment on the other routes, but 0324 is the third bus on the 19. It's tracking is just broken, it's definitely in service though.
