It has taken them a while, but they have got there in the end.
Sat there with the iPad and surfed away to my hearts content.
Quite fast, no lag and no dropping out.

On a different note, GNE have adverts/coupons for a £1.99 McDonalds meal on some of their tickets. I imagine more vehicles will see them introduced over the next week or so.
No idea how long the offer has been on, but haven't seen it mentioned on here previously.

(28 Aug 2014, 4:53 am)Dan The McDonalds thing is fairly recent (it's happened at some point this month). I know Stagecoach has had that deal for donkeys on and off, but GNE have always had something red on the back of their tickets.

(28 Aug 2014, 7:46 am)Greg in Weardale Trouble is, most if these McDonalds vouchers on tickets are not valid at places where there's a "drive thru", which is most of them.

(28 Aug 2014, 8:09 am)Dan I've never had any issues like. Never bothered reading the small print but I think the one at the Wheatsheaf in Sunderland is a drive thru and I use them there all the time.

(27 Aug 2014, 4:49 am)Dan Yes, but we still need some at Deptford for services 99 and 238, until such a time comes whereby their loadings justify the use of a midi-sized vehicle.

(28 Aug 2014, 8:37 am)Acky81 Can't be that fussed as they gave away 547 to saltmeadows. 99 is coping ok with larger buses as I witnessed yesterday it was busy. I saw a solar on 238 at ryhope which begs the question how's that get round northlea at Seaham then I saw a solo nexus bus on 38 at lunchtime at tunstall bank est. bigger buses should be on the 38 not 238. Why this interworks is beyond me!!
Seeing a small 38 did remind me of the old 141 round TBE

(28 Aug 2014, 8:40 am)Michael The 2 NEXUS solo's are allocated to the 38 during the day now... seems daft to me to

(28 Aug 2014, 8:58 am)Jimmi Arriva have been doing them for a while too, especially on buses in Darlington.

(28 Aug 2014, 4:54 pm)tyresmoke Used to have dates on the ticket rolls but now I notice they state 6 weeks from the issue of the ticket itself. They tend to appear every now and again at our depot but doesn't seem to be any pattern to it?

(28 Aug 2014, 4:56 pm)Dan Aye, Maccy's divvint care about the dates though!

(28 Aug 2014, 5:42 pm)NEBCD Malarkey I got some Vouchers in WH Smith in the MetroCentre for McDonalds, seems like there Vouchers are here there and everywhere. Only bought 2 Tins of Model Paint.
