I realise GNE tend to report this kind of thing very well on social media and are to be commended for that. Can't help but think however that level of unreliability and consequent delay, especially on a Sunday where there is already a decent gap in some frequencies, has to be a major deterrent to bus travel for anyone who has a choice? No idea if today is just a particularly extreme example, or if this is fairly typical (and indeed if similar scale cancellations occur regularly with the other operators).
I posted in the disruptions thread the other day that the last 16 of the evening had been cancelled (tweet went out 5mins prior) and they were recommending people use the X15 as an alternative.
Just seen the last X1 to Easington Lane from Newcastle has been cancelled. No recommendations on alternatives (even fewer than the example the other evening in Durham) and the tweet went out 5mins prior to it departing Eldon Square.
In other news, there's apparently been a staff trip to York today.
No idea who was on-board and whether it made any difference to the 90+ runs cancelled today, but hopefully they all enjoyed it.
