(26 Jun 2023, 10:38 am)F114TML wrote I did overtake a drifter the other day on the A19 - didn't get the number annoyingly. It was on Staff Shuttle work (according to the destination screen anyway) and was doing about 30-40mph. I think at one point it even had its hazards on.Some GNE routes do have tight timetables like. But one thing I've noticed is with Contracted routes like the GCT 71 are quite tightly timed as well.
Also regards the driving standards convo - I haven't worked for GNE but I know an ex-GNE driver who said the timetables are extremely tight, and some of them absolutely impossible, which would go a long way to explaining the driving standards. Our service 3 is similar - you can either follow the 20 limits in the estates, or follow the timetable; you can't have both except on a select few journeys that are very quiet.
