You might find the service OK when you use it, but regulars don't. And the number of cancelled services is poor. Remember not everyone uses bustimes and many don't even know what the 19 is for so people end up stood half and hour....
It's all very well and good for 'enthusiasts' to make everything seem fine, but the reality of that particular service is far from ideal or even acceptable.

I'm not giving a view as an enthusiast, I'm just giving balance to the argument by using facts (for example, what are Go North East supposed to do when a bus is stuck every peak time for 30 minutes on Tynemouth Road at peak times). And there are barely any cancelled services, there might be more than an ideal numbers of delays, but like I said buses don't track so appear to be cancelled when looking at tracking when they aren't. The only time services are cancelled is when they are running considerably late so run light to North Shields for example to get back on time.
