However if I call GNE on a 0191 number, about wifi not working, they'll try their very best to resolve the problem. Arriva just sit around.
I sincerely hope that GNE reenter Ashington and Northumberland, I'll certainly be using them.
As for being 13, no, I'm allowed on the forum. Maybe the forum rules might want to stop autistic members joining too?
I will consider liking Arriva again, if they get their act together. I'm the one paying £7 for a DaySaver for sh***y buses which don't look like they've been cleaned since they've been bought.
As for you being an Arriva driver, enjoy your free bus travel, it won't be long until I inform Arriva of your actions toward other forum members.
All the best,

Can I just say that Arriva do not have a 'sit around' attitude. When the W-RBB Tridents were transferred to Durham depot, drivers complained about the heating and being underpowered, countless hours were then spent to get them up to standard - hence why they are now at Yorkshire Tiger rather than being scrapped. The same went for the T-FGN deckers. I'm assuming the reason the Ashington inspector said that to you was because he knows who you are and thought he could have a joke, rather than being slagged off on a forum. On a positive though, I challenge anyone to say that Arriva haven't improved from 5 years ago.
