It shows that there are some instantaneous measures of communication between service delivery managers and customer services when passengers make complaints on Social Media pages.
I suspect that the 'meeting' which the news article referred to did indeed take place, for the service delivery manager to admit there are problems in regards to reliability and for a VOSA registration to be submitted as soon as possible.
There are two duplicate runs per hour which operate alongside the current "TEN" network, in the lead up to Christmas. This assists with the reliability of the service and ensures passengers are more likely to get a seat on a service which is particularly busy at Christmas time...
Let's not forget about the dedicated spare based at both Winlaton and Hexham, which should always be ready to assist the "TEN" network from both ends of the route, providing there are no VORs and the vehicle was actually required to meet the PVR.
We can't say GNE haven't done something about the problems, can we?
Yeah, noticed those dupes when I have been over that way.
Hopefully it will help out with the loadings and timings.
You are right, it looks like the problems have been addressed and rightly so.
However, I will take a punt that the company were aware of the issues long before the newspaper article in November and long before the posts on fb last week.
The timings of the changes happening in Feb, indicate that they have not long been finalised and submitted to VOSA...
Kudos to them for actually doing something about it though.
