Boiling hot upstairs even on the A1, ended up with an ill passenger (really not nice) and all sat downstairs after Durham. Again I’m an irregular user so not a good look.
One of the hottest days and the vehicle has the internal heating locked on full. Checked with the driver in case it was a throw a switch job and he confirmed that the heating was locked on and had been reported twice on the palmpilot and nothing had been fine about it.
An absolutely unbearable journey for those involved and I might suggest a potential health risk as some is the passengers were elderly and there were also pregnant passengers onboard.
Considering this is supposed to be a premium service this has done nothing to tempt me out of the car (in fact the reverse).
Is GNE really running on such a shoe string that this vehicle could not have been replaced? Especially as the defect had apparently already been reported twice.
Some aspects of the standard of driving on a separate inbound journey on the A1 (leaving a safe distance from the vehicle in front at high speed) also left a lot to be desired.
As in irregular user an extremely poor show from GNE.
