So next time your bus is late, just think about them people working in the Service Delivery Centre.  It can get pretty hectic in there!

Not my cup of tea then but i'm not going to Gateshead College next year anyway - too awkward to get to and I didn't really like it when I visited it for an open night


My bus has been doing well for punctuality over the past couple of weeks lately. 4 days has it arrived at the school at around 8:30 (5 minutes earlier than it should) but has been on time getting to my stop (so the chances are, it has become early after I have got on). I know they have been told to make sure the buses are on time (or as on time as they can with any build up in traffic) and it has improved massively and I love it.

One thing that I may suggest contributes to the early running is the route that the drivers take at Hollyhill Gardens. As seen I the attachment, it usually turns right where the 78 would go straight along. Google seems to correspond to this, as does the GNE app (stops shown as 'Hollyhill Gdns Shops' and '17/123 Hollyhill Gdns West'). However, only 1 driver in 2 weeks has actually gone that way and, although it doesn't usually pick anybody up around there, I still don't see why drivers don't go up there, especially when an official company app says that it should.
