(13 Aug 2015, 1:50 pm)Michael Why does GNE only give a limited number of services for location on peoples posts... looking at one now..

Someone asked to go to Bede college from Park lane... so GNE only gave her the 36?...... although the 20/20A/35 and X35 all stop at the Bede college bus stop.......

Its happened before with other questions although there's like 2-3 services to that area........

Some folk can get confused by too much information, especially if the buses leave from different stops.

Maybe but i would of thought they would of gave the 20/20A service a mention, with them being every 10 minutes from Park Lane to Bede...GNE should still advertise all the services which go to the location asked...

Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.

Just a curious question, I got on the 82A at 14:20 from Concord back to The Galleries, prior to me boarding the Driver would had approximately 10 Minutes Layover in Concord, we then got as far as the Depot before he changed Drivers, question is what is the point of this when the changeover could of occurred at Concord, on top of that by the time the changeover was over and done the 82A was then running 3 to 4 Minutes Late, surely the Service would of lost custom at various points of the day if say 2 or the 50 arrived at The Galleries just before the 82A did picking up passengers for Lambton, where infact the 82A should arrive before the 2/50.

it might have reached the point where the current driver was reaching the limit of the time he was allowed to work for without a break. Or the end of his shift.

It also saves tying up a van that is desperately needed elsewhere at times.

always seem to be 2 or 3 vans parked up at The Galleries, would it not be more cost effect if multiple drivers are changing over at once at the same location, to therefore purchase a few people carriers like Deptford have to transport drivers.

Adam, you have no idea how hard that would be.  You would need to co-ordinate the changeovers so that everytime the drivers changed on the 4 and X1 at the same time as example, but they all have different lengths of duty portions, it would be impossible to do this on a regular basis.

Also, you may see vans parked up at the Galleries, but have they all came from the Depot??  Some of the duties may finish on an 88, but then pick up a 4 at the Galleries - not everything you see is black and white I am afraid.

Why does the X66 lights flicker so much? Much more noticeable at night. Also with these vehicles not been WiFi plugs etc as it's short distance would it not be cost effective to do it new rather than I'd they come to be cascaded?
