Wow, the grief nexus get on here amazes me. Like andros say bailing out private bus companies . Running the metro with trains probably older then most of the pesters on here ( yes you could argue they should have asked more new rolling stock when the extension to Sunderland was being sorted but how do we know what was going on behind the scenes?? Mybe was one or the other?). The also so out bus infrastructure - have you seen the bus stops in NEXUS land compared to say Northumberland Durham? Must be at least 99% OF STOPS HAVE A UP TO DATE TIMETABLE and most have shelters. I remember waiting in the rain for buses in the 80;s as hardly any shelters. and with the private companies chopping and changing timetables it MUST BE A HELL OF A JOB TO CHANGE THEM although im sure those on here could change every stop in nexus land in less than a day including a hour for there dinner!!! Half the stops in Durham and Northumberland your lucky you can tell its an actual stop! Never mind havin a shelter or a timetable to give you some idea what the crack is! And someone mention Liverpool!! you want to try getting a bus to /from goodison park!!! no timetable att he bus stop on the main drag outside the ground. Good job there is a spoons there to keep me entertained!

Then there are the running of buses..... if they run the entire service then fine but running a service on an evening and Sundays but letter the commercial operator take the cream of 7 till 6pm pm well that's the biggest P**S take since VAR turned over the penalty to Newcastle on Sunday.

In my view NEXUS do a reasonable ( not good or Great) in sh*t circumstances....... they get far to much grief for what they dopoorly and no compliments about what they do well
