Go North East service levels during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

Go North East service levels during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - March 2020
Looking at the comments and some of the visitor posts on GNE's Facebook the last few days I think many people are totally missing the bigger picture.

It's good to see a number of comments appreciating the fact that the main role of the company at the minute is to keep key workers connected. Running a bare minimum service in order to do this while losing money on it is not easy for a private company to do with no government support (as yet). Yes it might mean that it may longer to get to and from work but as long as you can still get there that's the main thing.

Staff sickness among drivers and engineers also needs to be factored in. Hopefully the reduction in service will mean that even in worst case scenarios, this will be easier to maintain and ensure reliability.

Fast forward to two weeks from today.
