(05 Jul 2023, 8:08 pm)Thomas12 That’s good to know then- I haven’t used the 19 but they is definitely services missing from the 335 and 342.
(05 Jul 2023, 8:09 pm)Ianthegoon Maybe if penalties were issued on the basis of whether tracking showed the bus operating, it might focus minds at the operator into fixing the tracking .....
Mind you, that would require Nexus to actually care enough to want to actually get value for the money they're spending!

At least one of the Durham Park and ride buses has received park and ride branding (appears to be the same that the Scarlett band solos had)

I rode E200-MMC YX21RUJ on route 19 last Tuesday. I think that may have been a former Go North East route.

Anyone think its worth complaining to GCT??? went for bus to take me to Old Durham Road and waited at normal stop. Bus coming ( couple of minutes early for a change) and put my hand out. The bus wasn't indicating to stop and if out was speeding up and yes, drove straight passed. Late for work as missed connection.
I might just leave it as it might just be a one off. Funny thing is we use the taxi bit for our staff to get who when on a late so i do know a few of there staff. what do we reckon?

(24 Oct 2023, 9:24 am)Adrian Up to you, but as it's a secured service, you'll need to contact Nexus.

When they run 11 minutes early and 8 minutes early so you miss a nexus secured service...
One driver told me I was lying until I showed him bustimes.org tracker
He was fuming as he said we will lose the route ... I showed him evidence of trying to ring gct too
He actually stopped his bus at the terminus where I got off rang the gaffa and asked him to look into it and who was driving and said openly said I can't defend that maybe a late bus but not an early bus by 11mins on that route even taking one estate out is 6mins but he went round it!

(25 Oct 2023, 12:22 am)Coastliner700 I’ve tried to contacting Nexus about missing journeys but they aren’t interested they told me to contact GCT. The one thing I would say though the drivers are all spot on and really decent people compared to others.
