RE: Disruptions and driver shortages - Ambassador - 30 Jul 2022
Our young Martijn was on one of his very very very late 21s which ran packed through low fell NIS today
Not sure what the regulation is like but the reliability today was woeful not helped by the traffic lights at Birtley three tuna.
6 21s passed throug low fell without anyone being able to get on

We after the match last night the 28b from Wilson square never turned up. Couldnt get on app. So got the 21 which was rammed. Left people at gateshead as it was so full with people sitting on stairs if this happened during the season I'll be going to nexus and asking for mu $25 quid magpie mover money back!
Oh and another think I read on facebook ( pinch of salt taken) was that earlier in week a driver on the 29 forgot.ro.gk to.elson square. From the post those waiting managed to speak to a gne lead driver who in there words was very rude but cause they said they werent moving he drove them to kibblesworth himself....

"Birtley three tuna."
Seems a bit fishy.

(30 Jul 2022, 9:08 pm)Unber43 How do you forget Eldon Square?no idea, just what was on facebook. I was kind of wondering if it'd managed to get the app to work i would have seen the 28b sitting at market street empty
RE: Disruptions and driver shortages - BusLoverMum - 31 Jul 2022
No sign of a cancellations list, today, so all must be hunky dory, only so far, the x21 we rushed to be ready for hasn't run and, while waiting for a 6, a 21 only going as far as Chester has passed us.
RE: Disruptions and driver shortages - Jack Gill - 31 Jul 2022
There is a cancellations list, just right under yesterdays..
RE: Disruptions and driver shortages - F114TML - 31 Jul 2022
"X-lines X1 | X1A:
From Newcastle: The 12:13 will terminate at the Galleries 12:45, 14:33, 17:53, the 20:00 will start service at the Galleries 20:28. "
Can someone translate this into English, please?

looks like the 11am for bishop is starting from CLS if ive read it correctly?

(31 Jul 2022, 9:59 am)Rob44 looks like the 11am for bishop is starting from CLS if ive read it correctly?Yes, thats the one that was cancelled from Newcastle.
At least a list is up, now.
RE: Disruptions and driver shortages - Unber43 - 01 Aug 2022
I must really commend GNE for the layout of cancellations, even tho there are still some bad ones e.g
93 - From Retail World: 16:05, 16:25, 16:45, 17:05, 17:25.
From my looking on the list I don't believe other than whats happening with the 93 there is many dual cancellations if any.
Last 50 from Durham's cancelled but from what i've seen thats really about it
RE: Disruptions and driver shortages - Jack Gill - 01 Aug 2022
Cancellations seem to be settling down just a little bit so far this week. Although it's only been 1 day..

Is the bar really that low these days? There's still 190 full/partial cancellations today from Go North East.
RE: Disruptions and driver shortages - Jack Gill - 02 Aug 2022
While it's definitely still not good, it is somewhat better than the cancellations have been on past days.

I'm not sure whether your looking at the same list as me but it's absolutely horrendous still considering they butchered a large chunk of the network over a week ago and none of the school services are running currently.
I know there's driver's on holidays etc atm but there's also a lot more school work coming in soon, who only knows who's going to be driving these not to mention a strike coming up at CLS.
It's like it's never ending it's been going on part of a year and there seemed to be confidence that there was a surplus of driver's and there'd be no cancellations after the changes which hasn't materialised.

RE: Disruptions and driver shortages - F114TML - 02 Aug 2022
Yes. If this keeps up, the school contracts are going to be interesting...
RE: Disruptions and driver shortages - Unber43 - 02 Aug 2022
Seems to be above 200 partly/full cancelled buses tomorrow, with mutliple (2 or more) in a row cancelled on 4, 20, X20
