Measures like this, while a pain in the arse for passengers, are far preferable to the current mess of some buses cancelled, some doing one half of a route, some doing the other half, with the resultant huge and unpredictable gaps, often coinciding with similar gaps on alternative services, leaving people stranded for long periods.

(22 Jul 2022, 5:08 pm)Unber43 Just look at the 21, there is about 50% of the vehicles on that there should be.
From Newcastle: 05:15, 19:02, 20:06, 21:26, 23:26.
From Brandon: 18:35, 19:05.
From Durham: 06:13, 07:00, 22:27.
From Chester-le-Street to Newcastle: 04:37, 18:18, 20:44.

Considering that was all that was listed, why won't GNE give us the full cancellation? Are they too embarrassed at them?

(22 Jul 2022, 5:19 pm)stagecoachbusdepot Interesting the level of unanimity here in terms of preference for reduced but predictable timetable (approach of SNE and apparently soon to be ANE) to the attempt to run a full timetable unreliably (GNEs approach for several months now). 

It seems obvious to me which would be preferable to customers and appears to be borne out here too … but does anyone take the opposite view? 

And if not, and it is as obvious as it appears that operating emergency timetables is better than – to use the phrase of the day – the shitshow that is GNE’s offering, why have GNE persisted with this failing approach for so long? 

Would introduction of emergency timetables across the board have reduced inconvenience to customers and potentially done less damage to the GNE brand? 

Seems really odd they took the emergency timetable approach to a minority of services but not the rest, despite very obvious chronic failures in delivery across the business.

(22 Jul 2022, 1:53 pm)Unber43 Are the 61 being allocated Deckers to Peterlee, aswell as the X6 (which could be an OmniDekka)

The One time GNE might be able to take some competiton and they cancel the 55, please bring it back for this.

(22 Jul 2022, 7:29 pm)Unber43 Peterlee Depot Have Cancellations FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER

(22 Jul 2022, 7:38 pm)F114TML 1) Peterlee depot no longer exists
2) I've definitely seen calncellations listed for the Peterlee Purples routes, though iirc it was only a couple.

(22 Jul 2022, 7:29 pm)Unber43 Well...if you thought previous days where a shi*t show, you've seen nothing like it, Deptford Small Bus Rota & Peterlee Rota Have Cancellations for the first time in a while, aswell as Percy Main.

- Xlines X1 - What A Mess
It has no bus running to Easington Lane from Newcastle, from 14:23, 14:35 | 15:47, 15:59 | 16:23, 16:47 | 17:23, 17:35, the 17:47 will only run as far as Washington. Meaning where it is roughly 17:11 to 18:00 wait for an X1 past Washington.
Furthermore GNE cancelling 55 in order for people to use the X1, seems to have backfired when they have a 2 hour wait for one with : 14:14, 14:38, 15:14, cancelled.

(22 Jul 2022, 7:53 pm)stagecoachbusdepot Christ even I think this is getting a bit obsessive now ... you must spend a LOT of time comparing all the cancellations to the published timetables to work out the size of the gaps.  We all know GNE have a ridiculous amount of lost mileage atm and they are seeking to address it (albeit by slashing services)... surely we need to give it a chance, after the changes, to see if it works out.

(22 Jul 2022, 9:21 pm)Adrian Just a suggestion, but would it not be easier if they started listing what will be running?

(22 Jul 2022, 7:29 pm)Unber43 - Angel 21

(23 Jul 2022, 5:45 am)User2613 Someone should make a full list of the actual 21 cancellations today and compare to the published list. I will start seen as I am now walking home from work rather P'd off

6:33 from Chester to Newcastle Cancelled

(22 Jul 2022, 1:49 pm)Dan In other news, I believe Arriva North East are going onto emergency timetables shortly due to their staffing situation getting increasingly worse, which will include services 22/23/24 all running hourly.
