Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - April 2015

(04 Apr 2015, 9:19 am)Jimmi wrote I'd say that it was mostly opinions on how services are run on bank holidays rather than a DIRECT attack and I don't see where having autism has anything to do with this, I have autism but I don't play the autism card everytime someone says anything I don't agree with.

I think some people on here expect to much, we are always seeing people moaning that there bus is a few minutes late and the way some people go on surrounding these delays you thought that they were 6 hours late rather than 6 minutes, I am not saying it is okay for services to run late but sometimes these delays are out of the bus operators control so there is nothing they can really do apart from read your compliants and maybe give you a free ticket of some sort. If you are constantly unhappy with the bus service you are receiving complain to the company in question as constantly complaining on a public forum isn't going to fix the problems you are facing.

Also you are complaining about being threatened and then threaten him to a greater extreme. We have had issues with enthusiasts complaining to companies in the past with some innocent drivers nearly getting the sack because of silly incidents like this in the past and I do not want to see this happen again as it gives all of us a bad reputation and I do not want us good enthusiasts getting grief for one persons actions.

I'm aware this sounds harsh but this what I feel needs to be said.

May I ask how many journeys of the 7 are delayed 10 minutes plus?

On a weekday, of when a 306 is allowed to run 46 minutes late, of when an on-time 306 overtook it, by the time the late 306 reached Billy Mill, the on-time 306 was turning around in Tynemouth?

Allowing buses to run in twos. X21 passengers had to wait 40 minutes for a bus because of the constant late running?

It won't be long until GNE enter Arriva territory, with buses running five minutes in front of Arriva's with better quality and friendly drivers.
