Gateshead Central Taxis
PB1099280/27 - CENTRAL TAXIS GATESHEAD LTD, 53 - 55 HIGH STREET, FELLING, GATESHEAD, NE10 9LU
Variation Accepted by SN: Operating between KIRKWOOD GARDENS, WARDLEY and CARDINAL HUME SCHOOL, WREKENTON given service number 878 effective from 22-Sep-2014. To amend Timetable.
Does Gateshead Central Taxis have a Social Media policy?
I note an employee has broadcasted on Facebook that he has been 'bollocked' from the company's Operations Manager - all of which ties in with a complaint that Nexus is now involved in: a child being refused travel because he only had a £5 note (though the driver seems to think it's because the child gave him 'abuse' a few days beforehand!)
I'm guessing GCT's buses will be fitted with CCTV which will assist Nexus to determine who is telling the truth in their investigation?
Eagerly chased after the e200 working the 37 this evening at about 1700, despite the best efforts of the old couple in front of me going as slow as they could in their Fiat Panda.
Pleased to report it went into Biddick Woods, despite nobody wanting to be on or off.
Dan can I just add that I work with the said driver and he did not actually refuse the said child and he walked away on his own he cannot grab the child and force him to board the bus and no they don't currently have a social media policy and if you have a problem with the driver why don't you contact him directly as you have obviously seen his post yourself and he will explain exactly what happened like he told me instead of putting it on a forum for all to see as surely you are aware that you can also get done for posting what you have as false accusations many thanks

To be honest this guy has had a lot to deal with recently and I would also like to point out that I have indeed had a word with him about using facebook and what he has put on there and to keep it toned down however a few of his former colleagues which I am included as being one too do seem to think he is a grass however I have thought of him as being straight as if not a bit to upfront with some of the things said but I must ask with whom are you speaking to as regards of the said employee??
And as regarding the former colleagues wife he told me this morning that he had already apologised for the incident as it is his last week working for gateshead central and I also know as I am on the same rota of sorts that the lines are very taxing as well as the duties!

You are clearly speaking with people from Go North East or you are obviously trolling this guys facebook page as you wouldn't be able to see these things I myself had to add the employee to speak to him through messager !!

If that's the way you feel robert bring it on I'm only stating facts at the end of it!! Someone must be spreading around rumours as I myself have had great pleasure working with the employee in question for two companies now and find him to be a good lad in general perhaps if people actually spoke to drivers properly and didn't slag them then both he and busman would be much happier in their job!!

You suggest earlier that people making unsubstantiated claims could potentially be libel, yet then go on go make one of your own?

This is starting to turn into the farce that was the ANE fb page back in the day.
The GNE fb page has often had employees posting and it just makes the company look bad.
It's as though they aren't in control of their employees.
The last few months and the next few months, have been and will continue to be, a massive learning curve for GCT.
I genuinely hope they can do things in the right manner and continue to improve.
The contracts they have gained, can be a massive step, in developing and growing the company.
It doesn't need employees posting comments, which can make the company look foolish.
Jim Hughes seem to have an official representative. I am sure there was one other independent who had an 'official' contributor at one point. Maybe it is worth GCT having one too?
