Disruptions and driver shortages
Disruptions and driver shortages
(10 Dec 2021, 4:22 pm)deanmachine I agree, unfortunately I can't see the bus companies adding the extra buses into the PVR to make them more reliable, especially at the minute. Sometimes it just can't be helped though with road closures, diversions and incidents on the route.For me with better communication they drivers who do make it to Newcastle could ask passengers to board and then drop them off at Gateshead meaning the buses turning around at Gateshead get closers to there running time and the customers, even though having to board a bus to catch another one would get home..... rather than stand in the cold and rain of market street.
