Has anyone had a reply from their letters or e-mails to Go North East regarding their Facebook page getting 'out of control' while unmoderated during offline hours?

you have to wonder about what kind of lives the people who comment on the posts people put on here actually live. They must be in love with go north east or something, religiously sticking their noses in, starting arguments, slagging people off. yous really must have nothing better to do. im sure all the people you annoy by interfering will agree with me when i say get a life

Ian Hignett 1. They cannot predict traffic congestion as it is variable and 2. What good would putting extra buses on do, except for increasing the congestion and that would be if they had any spares which is unlikely plus there would have to be extra drivers
and that would mean higher costs and further fare rises. Like · 54 minutes ago
Im guessing nothing came of the complaints made earlier this year?
No need for this from him, especially when it concerns kids - but nowt surprises me with this fella.
He lives on the GNE Fb page, hes always on, he does give good info but most of the time hes annoying as out, thinking he knows more than other people.
What else annoy's me, he sometimes posts the same information as GNE, like if GNE have already posted on it.
Totally agree, some of the info he gives out is good - as a grown adult though, you would have thought he would think before he speaks and not write what he does or instigate the arguments he does.
In the case below, theres a mother who has been waiting ages, looking for some sort of advice, worried about the kids being stranded at school (where anything could happen) and he goes on like that.
Not sure if anyone else has noticed, but there have been several comments aimed at young mothers... Including this one.
Maas Megan > Go North East 1 hour ago · Are you guys having a laugh? Your service seriously sucks. Why did the 29 leave earlier than Ur should have today? So after walking a mile and a half the 94 hasn't bothered to even turn up, I don't know if you know but some of us actually work, and we have work to get to. How about I prevent your bus drivers from doing their jobs as they're doing to me. Like

Looks like the GNE Bod is loosing his patience with Trent!
Also, in Trent's defense, of the two comments he made previously (that morning), one was actually in praise of a driver who provided him with assistance (although I'm doubtful of some of the story itself), and the other was a general comment about the heating on the bus he regularly catches. I would hardly label that as 'spamming'.

Apparently he used to 'tooth' when he was on the buses.
Re the couple on the 44, thats a bit tight of GNE not sorting them a cake mind.

Go North East I'm sorry you feel that way, Trent. As you were informed on a previous occasion when I checked our system, we have responded to everything we've received from you. If you can provide me with specific instances when you believe you haven't received a response I can certainly look into this further for you.
Also, if you're unhappy with a response you receive I'd advise writing to us quoting the reference number asking for it to be escalated to the customer services manager.
