There would have been nothing wrong with this post at all, Andreos.

The issue is likely to be due to delays on the A19. This is why a large number of Volvo B9s as of late have been replaced by other vehicles, including Volvo B10s and Scania L94s.

This post could have perhaps been deemed inappropriate if you had suggested that timekeeping issues were down to planned tight timings made by Go North East. Perhaps if this was the first time it had been suggested and it hadn't been disputed or suggested otherwise prior (by an 'official' representative or someone else who is seen to have provided accurate responses in the past), it wouldn't be so bad, but if it was an ongoing thing, could you understand why an 'official' representative (whose job it could be to design timetables) would be a little peeved by this and maybe decide to stop viewing the forum as they're sick and tired of either trying to provide the counter-argument or just seeing these comments in general with little to no positive feedback?
