(19 Oct 2016, 4:03 pm)Brian13 Firstly I was waiting at Heworth to catch a 4 to the Galleries. The 1557 one didn't turn up nor did the 1607 one. Or not until 1620 when 3 came in at once. One went off NIS and the one I got on which was 10 minutes late stopped for ages at Glebe and then took forever at Concord as the replacement driver didn't show up. This meant I missed the 50 at the Galleries as the driver pulled away when I got to the doors.And now I will miss my X46 to my Grandma's house or I'll have to take out a bank loan to get on the 46 as I've only got my Pop card and Key card. I'm not happy at all

Rude corrections.
Made some small mistakes, nowt major but it seems like being right and wrong is a matter of life and death to some people.
Cut my hand on rusting paint flakes on the handlebar on 6016.
Bad enough they send these out on a flagship service but infuriating they don't bother maintaining them.

(24 Oct 2016, 8:03 pm)Adrian Did you report the accident to the driver? As a report should have been made.
I'd follow up with CS as a matter of course too...

Annoyed doesn't cover it. I'm absolutely livid by the attitude of 5388's driver towards me. Long story short, told him I have a North Tyne Saver which flatly refuses to register on any Q3 service despite being valid. Told me he needed proof the ticket was valid. I told him he could easily print off a report from the reader. Refused to do it, then threatened to take my pass off me. Asked for his driver number, refused to give me that too. Formal complaint gone into GNE.

Thanks to whoever thought it was a good idea to steal cable, I'm currently sat at Berwick rail station, when I should be an hour away from Aberdeen. Starting to wish I didn't get on the rail replacement (as there wasn't a train at the other end as promised), and just waited at Newcastle for the 8:38 instead, as I'm waiting on that anyway.

Update from GNE: Driver is being brought in about his attitude, and they're going to look into the ticket machines. Confirmed what I already knew about my ticket being valid. Gonna be fun trying to get home tonight though...

There were two separate incidents on the ECML today; firstly being cable theft near Morpeth thus resulting in the loss of power between Morpeth and Plessey for track circuits, signals and level crossings.
Secondly there was an injured person on the railway at Berwick just a few hours later - was treated as a crime scene by the BTP until that cleared up.

(26 Oct 2016, 4:29 pm)mb134 Yep. So, had I not been instructed to wait for the 09:32, and instead got on the delayed XC service, I would have been fine. However, I waited for a service that didn't arrive until around 12:00 due to the incident north of Berwick, which was then terminated at Waverly, meaning another replacement bus from there to Aberdeen.
