A lot of older people were complaining to these members of staff about missing trains, and the members of staff seemed clueless as to why there were delays. Oh yes, and we had some cleaners on the train too!
Was on the system this evening also and there did seem a lack of peak trains, staff shortage or fleet shortage or another reason I am not sure.
Was good to see staff on the Gateshead ticketing gates at about 18:00, though they buggered off by whenever I posted the message earlier.
