Well out it this way folks, Arriva seriously want to up their game as GNE are in a position now that they could do something like this:
- GNE: "Whey, now the punters have got new buses on the 27, lets give the Mercs to Percy Main".
- GNE " Reet, we'll file the routes off to VOSA".
- Arriva Passenger: "Why's my bus got no power sockets?"
- Arriva inspector: " Well, as long as the buses engine and brakes are working, that's fine".
- To be ex Arriva passenger: "Well why I'm I paying 7 quid for a shruddy service? Reet, I'll be taking the Merc from now on".
- New GNE passengers: "Can we please have more seats on the expresses"?
- GNE: " Yep, we'll get some new deckers for the X1 so you can have more seats?"
- GNE " Your Ashington express bus will be a bit bigger with comfy seats and more of them".
Then, 2 Arriva inspectors are talking at Ashington:
- Inspector 1: "Well, our Sapphire services are running on time and even early for once"
- Inspector 2: "Aye, well nobody is f*****g using them"
