RE: Disruptions and driver shortages - Adrian - 17 Jan 2022 Thought I'd share this thread: https://twitter.com/arrivanortheast/status/1483053258256101380 Despite the original post being "Darlington & Durham - Short Notice Cancellations. Due to staff shortages some journeys are not expected to operate today. For services effected please check the app for real time cancellations.", it appears that there's no actual publication of the list. Instead, the onus is completely on the customer to work out if their journey is cancelled or not. Having spent a good 20 minutes looking at various journeys in the app, it doesn't appear to be as simple as they make out. I wonder what the difficulty is in publishing a list (on your website) and maintaining it throughout the day? It's still not ideal, but it's far better than having to work it out for yourself. RE: Disruptions and driver shortages - streetdeckfan - 17 Jan 2022 (17 Jan 2022, 1:54 pm)Adrian Thought I'd share this thread: https://twitter.com/arrivanortheast/status/1483053258256101380I do wonder why we can't have both. GNE publishes a list of cancelled service, but they just disappear off the app. Arriva don't publish a list, but the app tells you if buses are delayed or cancelled.

GNE publishes a list of cancelled service, but they just disappear off the app. Arriva don't publish a list, but the app tells you if buses are delayed or cancelled. Allegedly. I've just checked services again on the corridors I looked at earlier, and I can see a cancellation on each now. Leaving under 2 hours notice. It seems to be two completely different strategies from two operators; one gives you a list in advance as a worst-case scenario, which is regularly updated throughout the day with journeys being reinstated. Others are reinstated with no notice. The other gives you a vague warning that some journeys will be disrupted, but publishes the cancellation with minimal notice. I don't think there's anything wrong with either strategy to be honest, but it'd be nice to have some consistency in approach and not be forced down unhelpful operator specific routes. For example, the two journeys I've referenced as cancelled in the Arriva app are still showing as options on Google Maps - why isn't that filtered through with open data?

Leaving under 2 hours notice.Google shows the live tracking information (or it used to), so I don't see why it wouldn't show cancellations Sent from my AC2003 using Tapatalk RE: Sunderland District | A new network of brands for services in Sunderland - idiot - 03 Feb 2022 56s not doing that well with delays this afternoon.

It was great to welcome @NEEChamberJohn to @gonortheast this morning to discuss our continuing partnership with @NEEChamber, playing our role in connecting the region with low carbon, accessible and affordable public transport - an important part of our regional economy! ??????? https://t.co/PZV1qUGENM Whilst standing in front of a bus, branded for a route that is currently suspended and is unable to connect the region to the metrocentre or other places on that it passes. An important part of our regional economy indeed!

Genuinely thought it was one of the X22 vehicles! I withdraw my cynicism. Edit: appreciate its the wrong vehicle type, but they have a very similar colour scheme. https://twitter.com/ATyldsley/status/1435277707152089089?t=8dpBJ3_IQpyyPB1iWDh70A&s=19 RE: Disruptions and driver shortages - streetdeckfan - 16 Feb 2022 (16 Feb 2022, 9:00 pm)Andreos1 So I was! I had exactly the same thought, especially with the way Twitter cropped it. It was only by chance that I accidentally tapped it while trying to scroll down that the whole image opened and I realised it was a 62 plate!

A TfL (or should that be TfD?) usually passes me on my way to work each morning. Maybe they've replaced the much-missed Lothian of Derwentside in the area.
