Not sure if anyone on here would really be in a position to answer that, but I guess it's always something Go North East has to fall back on... If someone ends up falling down the stairs and they did not listen to the announcement which explicitly states "Please remain seated until the bus has stopped", couldn't it be argued that it's the customer's fault for still insisting to descend down the stairs while the bus is in motion? As you quite rightly point out, most customers (myself included) ignore the announcement.
