Whilst not insinuating anything at all, how come we have so many examples of services running light - yet official figures seem to state otherwise?
All lost mileage is reported and categorised; indeed, in my month hopping around various departments with GNE in August, I sorted some of the end of period reporting for it.
I think it's more a case of the mileage being operated is so much more than what you'd expect. The figure was crazy just for one period, and I can't remember off the top of my head what it was, but the mileage being dropped from Gateshead to Newcastle a couple of times per day on service 56 (for example) was nothing...
