Fair enough if GNE were to suspend all evening's services as it may have overran - but if they do this, put posters etc. up at bus stops!!

TEN drivers were telling passengers that had travelled to Corbridge that the buses would return to running through Corbridge as soon as the road closure was lifted. In fact the closure was lifted well before 9pm (I was in the village all evening until 21:50 and I spoke to people expecting the 9:02 pm bus to appear to advise them that, in my opinion they would be better advised to walk across the bridge - which they decided against in case the bus came whilst they were walking to the alternate stop).

Every one of those waiting in vain had been told that after a certain time (one said 9.30 pm - but that was for the eastbound bus) that running would return to normal through the village (but of course, these drivers wouldn't necessarily be the same drivers that should have resumed the route.
