Go North East | Sunday timetables all weekend
Not sure if region wide, but just had message from GNE that Sunday services are being employed on Saturday. This is from Deptford but unsure if only a local arrangement

This is from Deptford but unsure if only a local arrangementI bloody hope not, that'll mean the X21 will stop serving West Auckland on a Saturday as well!

Shocking that mind, especially for those who work in retail with early starts on a Saturday. There's also the Newcastle match on Saturday afternoon.
I hope there's some operational exceptions in place, otherwise people aren't going to get to work and those 4s and X1s are going to leave people behind before and after the match.
Leave your car at home and let us take care of your journey... p.s. I hope you wrap up warm and enjoy a long wait in the cold!

These being the low cost/Nexus services which includes the X20 amongst others.As in 8th January, they are making this change quick. With only 2 days notice.

The people using those services and needing to use them to get places.

(06 Jan 2022, 4:22 pm)Andreos1 Wonder when they decide to share it with the wider public? The people using those services and needing to use them to get places.Wonder what the chances of it getting announced at 4:59 tomorrow when customer services closes for the weekend?
There's not much time left to get the message out there.
Is it cynical of me to expect quite a few complaints over the weekend and in to next week?
Is it even more cynical of me to expect a shrug of the shoulders and a 'we told you, we updated the website and notices went on buses - you should have paid attention' kind of response?
Is it inevitable that the drivers who have managed to bat Covid away and haven't moved on to bigger and better things, are the ones who will get it in the neck?

So what's the alternative then? Russle up 30 or whatever extra drivers from thin air?
Expect the fit drivers to come in on their rest days for the same rate of pay and in the process probably get zero thanks for doing so from the company or general public?
I wonder if this has been a sudden idea of how to fix a problem (temporary fix?) or if the idea of dropping to a Sunday service has been a back burner contingency idea for some time?
Long term (depending on how long these emergency measures last) , its only going to confuse passengers and force them to use other transport options such as a car or a rival operator (or Metro). Whilst Covid has devastated many industries, I genuinely don't see how public transport as a whole can get the publics confidence back to where it was prepandemic (and even then public transport had image issues and stigmas attached).

Covid is wreaking havoc in the places I know of. Even where rotas are virtually fully staffed! There are only so many times you can move drivers around other depots when they are dropping like flies for isolation
