RE: Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - January 2016
(25 Jan 2016, 10:27 pm)Adrian wrote Baffles me why it's even diverting at all. It's adding no more than a minute on to GNE services that I've used, which now have to divert down Jackson Street.
It is indeed a waste of time
I've used it a couple of times and what has been concerning is the lack of training on the diversion to drivers.
I used it in the first Monday (ex 7.35 from Birtley) and he had to get advice from the shuttle driver then still asked passengers. Southbound, drivers don't have a clue, stay in wrong lanes, cut across traffic. It's a pain and the southbound journey ends waiting at the cannon for 10 mins to let the shuttle catch up.
