Having said that they can’t serve everywhere, so someone somewhere always loose out, but it’s in various bits of Sunderland on three days perhaps could have been planned better?

In fairness, the cross-city links on the 61 aren't really missed - reliability went down the toilet in my experience, but everyone in Murton being confused as to where Lukes Lane is was a bit amusing, and scrapping the X7 was just an inevitability really.

60, reduced timetable
61, frequency reduced and cross Sunderland links lost including the SOL.
62, scrapped
65, reduced timetable and hourly which is useless
X7, scrapped
71, scrapped (subsidised)
No Santa Bus
No Boxing Day services
Not exactly positive.

Looks like the customer engagement went out the window... Hope it hasn't affected the perception that GNE are a good company to work for

Hello,
I was a bit surprised to see areas with GNE services missed out on the Santa Bus Route this year, yet it seems to be going to places where GNE buses don’t run.
It’s bugged me for a few days so I thought I’d share my opinion. I just thought it would have made more sense to run it through areas where they operate as opposed to areas where they don’t have any services.
Thanks.
