I hope no drivers got backlash for making mistakes, its another managment failure to properly prepare them for the route, if anything i feel bad for the drivers. They need that layover time back at Newcastle or West Aukland
I think there's a sad liklihood that could happen and whilst some responsibility lies with the driver, I feel for them having being thrown onto a route likely with limited to no knowledge of the areas the route operates in most likely with no training and have to deal with passengers getting frustrated with buses getting lost, late running or buses not running at all with or without notice, worse still the 14:43 from West Auckland was a pre planned cancellation and the following trip at 15:13 is now cancelled between West Auckland and New Coundon (at least one other trip befell this fate) and just hope that 6001 which is currently running light past Spennymoor is the 15:43 departure from West Auckland otherwise some passengers will be left with a third departure not picking them up.
