If it takes between 10 and 20 minutes every weekday without fail, I'd expect the running times to be adjusted? The Traffic Commissioner's office states that timetables should be both realistic and achievable.

(29 May 2014, 5:07 pm)Dan I have no idea then.
As for your last comment, I do agree. Having said that, you'd have to add two extra buses in for the Silver Arrows (where do we find 2x Mercs?) and add another bus or two in for the Lime too. Massive cost.

(29 May 2014, 5:10 pm)aureolin I don't dispute the cost, but it's to ensure the passengers are provided with a reliable service at the end of the day. Not to ensure a company maintains it's profit targets. Councils could do more to support in terms of infrastructure though.

Many moons ago when I was doing a Drama Course in Stanley I was living in Framwellgate Moor, but one night was going back to my folks in Murton, got on the bus at Durham about 4:10pm, bus got to Hetton School and was turned round as parts of Hetton was flooded because of heavy rain, I finally got to Murton 2.5 hours late, making the return the next day to College, got on the bus in Murton at 8am, supposed to get to Durham just before 9am and onto Stanley for just before 10 am, I rolled into Durham at 11:30 and Stanley for 12:30, only to find to college had cancelled that day, I was the only idiot who managed to make it through...It had been belting down all night and the bus to Durham was stuck in traffic all the way from the Blacksmiths Arms in Pittington
(07 Jun 2014, 4:12 pm)AIG20 Does anyone have any story's relating to public transport on Thunder Thursday (28th June 2012) - the day when the whole of Newcastle was flooded and when lightning struck the Tyne Bridge; as apparently nearly all traffic was at a standstill for several hours that afternoon.

I've got some photos from Chester Le Street on that night. Horners was practically a pub in the middle of a lake. You couldn't see the middle traffic island between the two 21 stands. GNE kept running, and I recall wading through water to jump on a President. The best bit was running through the A167, and the bus took in water on the stretch between Plawsworth and Pity Me. Everyone on the lower deck sitting with their feet in the air avoiding the river running through the bus
Wednesday 7th August 2013 - 2 fatal accidents on the major traffic arteries of the A19 and A66 brought Teesside to a standstill (and followed from one the previous day on the A19). The latest a bus got that day was 2 hours late (an Arriva 17 or 17a or 17b, can't exactly remember). At one point, a duplicate 36 had been out to help out and it had to finish in Stockton about half 2/3pm as the driver would have been out of hours before he'd even reached the next timing point (he'd only have just made it back to the depot, and when that light journey from the High Street gets 5 minutes shows how bad it was).
Not late, but an early running record.
During the holidays, I needed an early 4. Got halfway to the stop and saw it in the distance - which led to me stepping up the pace a bit.
I knew I had left the house early, so checked my phone against the ticket and clock on board.
8mins early!
It should have been at the timing point previous, never mind 10mins up the road.
I was wondering if it was an earlier bus running late - the two passengers plus me (including a noticeable lack of regulars) indicated otherwise.
My connection in Houghton wasn't due for a while, which gave me ample opportunity to check for a 4 following behind.
Nowt appeared in the 10mins I needed to hang about.
Still, the driver managed to get a crafty smoke or several in the lay by behind the Co-op

(02 Sep 2014, 7:13 pm)Andreos Constantopolous Completely forgot about it until yesterday. Was scooting off for a train and the plan was to do it later that night.
Still have the ticket, so will get it sorted.
Ironically, the same timed bus the next day couldn't have been in as less of a rush if he tried.
It was a few mins late and did nowt to make the time up.
