It annoys me that some people have nee idea what goes on behind the scenes to get things like this sorted but are often quick to criticise but hey ho, thats the way of the world I guess.

(21 Nov 2015, 12:42 pm)Michael They could use the metro, its not very reliable though..........
I wasn't just criticizing GNE though?, i was just saying that sometimes bus companies put profits first....... Arriva is biggest example.... only time i mentioned GNE was when i said: Its good that GNE are expanding their services on boxing day and hopefully this increases every year.
We don't know how much goes on in the background but why can't people have a opinion the subject and have their say?

(21 Nov 2015, 12:51 pm)citaro5284 Surely if the Metro is not reliable that is not any bus companies fault, so why should they operate a service just in case the Metro breaks down?
I never mentioned GNE at all.....
Nothing stopping people having their say, however you assume it is all about profits - how do you know that, and simply you dont. Boxing Day currently is staffed by volunteers, the more services you run, the more staff you need, and quite a large proportion of staff like to have the Christmas and New Year off with their families, so actually finding the staff to cover the work can sometimes be more tricker than you think.

(21 Nov 2015, 12:58 pm)Michael I'm not the only one who has mentioned about profits.
In all honesty... why can't they have a better system.. where they have drivers working boxing day - and they change every year.
Example: 50 from Deptford work one year, the next 50 work the year after and so on...its not the best example.

Stagecoach in sunderland's offer has also been operated fully commercially the last few years, as has Newcastle's (except for the 7).
(23 Nov 2015, 3:18 pm)markydh There's plenty of demand. Newcastle buses are usually packed on Boxing Day!

(23 Nov 2015, 3:43 pm)Michael Sunderland's can get quite busy to.
Wouldn't be surprised if the E2/E6 are operated by E400's on boxing day.
I think Stagecoach should of tired to put the X34 on to, even it only ran hourly - maybe 11am-4pm.... although it depends on driver numbers or if the service would make a profit.

Temporary westbound closure of St.Lukes Road, affecting Service 11
From Monday 30 November 2015, for a period of approximately 4 weeks, St.Lukes Road will be closed to westbound traffic to enable sewer construction.
Last Updated: 27 November 2015 11:27 AM
These works will prevent Service 11 buses from operating westbound along the section of St.Lukes Road between Front Road and Quarry View bus termini.
During the periods of the closures, westbound Service 11 buses will be diverted from Westmoor Road via Front Road and Fordfield Road to the Quarry View terminus.
The route of eastbound buses should be unaffected by this closure.
During these works, there will be occasions when traffic will be controlled by temporary lights, and this may cause some localised delays.
Notwithstanding our best efforts to keep your buses moving, Stagecoach would like to apologise for any inconvenience, delays or disruptions these temporary works may cause.
Services Affected: 10, 11

23 Dec 2015
Recently, increasing levels of traffic congestion have affected the punctuality and reliability of your Service X63 during Monday to Friday peak times.
Whilst the completion of major highways schemes will assist these difficulties in the longer term, we need to take action now to ease these problems, and to offer customers a more reliable service.
As a result, a number of Monday to Friday morning trips will run earlier, and the afternoon timetable is changed after 1500, with buses during this period running at 20 minute intervals.
Although there will be slightly fewer journeys operating, the remaining trips will be more reliable, with the timetable being more “robust” and better able to combat the increasing levels of traffic congestion.
