(25 Nov 2014, 11:14 am)Dan ...I feel somewhat obliged to point out that we've seen a gradual lowering of input from Go North East employees on this forum over the past few months. I imagine that unwarranted posts which have continuously portrayed the company in a bad light have contributed to their departure from this forum. This forum was originally a great source of information for news and upcoming changes, though 'insider knowledge' is now incredibly limited. Perhaps if our relationship had not tarnished with our 'insiders' from Go North East, we could have had a clear understanding of what the company had planned, and given our views accordingly for this to potentially alter what the company had planned, but this will certainly not happen now. Whilst everyone on this forum is entitled to an opinion, and free to post their opinions on the public domain, repetitive and infelicitous posts should be avoided if it is going to make the information on this forum more and more limited. As enthusiasts, we all want to be 'kept in the loop', so I can't stress enough that I feel it's terribly important for us to not make a continuous flow of negative posts which portray the company in a bad light, and instead, make an attempt to see the good in some situations. The sun may not shine out of Go North East's exhaust pipe, but I think we all need to learn not to be blinded by our ignorance, which might enable me (and others) to stop making posts to provide the counter-argument...
As a user of Go North East's 10, I can safely say that they provide a good quality service with attention taken to keep the services running as timetabled (although busy traffic in Newcastle City Centre can cause delays). I would encourage any employees to return to the forum, as I value their input.
