(24 Nov 2014, 2:09 pm)Greg in Weardale Hate to say "told you so", Dan, but it was a lousy consultation and perhaps you'll realise that the sun doesn't always shine out of GNE's exhaust pipe. Their consultations have been progressively worse over the years. When they did the full ones via internet and leaflets I really thought they did care about what people thought, but soon realised they didn't. And today's one was the most pathetic ever; one man at 8.45 am who asked my friend where he lived, thus when he said "North Sunderland" only told him about those changes and didn't mention 2a/c or 38, although he travels widely across the whole network, as many members of this forum do, so our views, more informed than the average passengers, are at least as important. So if anyone mentions sampling techniques again, this consultation was total bollocks.
I don't have a GNE bus past my main address in DH6. But my other address in SR7 I do, and I use GNE's buses very frequently any changes to service 60 would be a big impact despite the fact on paper I live in a different postcode area. I study in Sunderland, work in Sunderland/Newcastle/Houghton - Seaham is practically where I spend most of my time, I have friends, family in Seaham/Murton/Easington. I travel on wide range of bus services, they should at least let people give there views- granted I haven't got an opinion on the Cobalt Clipper or the TEN, but I do on the drifter, East Durham, WearTees Xpress, Red Arrows, Fast Cats.
Dan lives in North Sunderland but saying he doesn't need to know about anything happening south of the city centre is ludicrous.
