Maybe have extra driver on each bus to make sure buses aren't over crowded?... even though it might cost extra..
Basically, in the 825 case, they withdrew service 830 (Tanfield Lea - School) and extended service 825 from Stanley to Flint Hill. This meant that not only do you have the people from Stanley, South Stanley and South Moor getting on but you also have the people from Flint Hill and Tanfield Lea as well, causing the bus to get busy.
Also what im a bit annoyed with is how the company are getting all the blame passed onto them eventhough its the School that are responsible for making the changes and GNE are only contracted to run them...
