RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - May 2016
Just witnessed a very heated argument between a passenger and a driver.
Bloke tried to get on the 21 to Chester at the bottom of John Dobson St, driver refused saying its a drop off only. Bloke literally stormed onto the bus and started pointing at posters on the bus showing he could board and then started waving timetables at the driver. Driver stood firm and refused and started arguing with the bloke, using not so choice words Was all a bit unprofessional and odd. Never realised you could board the Angel at John Dobson but the notices inside say you can, unless they've never been updated. I asked a driver on the way back and was grunted at. They really are miserable sods at Chester. Anyway, can anyone confirm if you can board the Angel at John Dobson?
Wistfully stuck in the 90s

On the map in the timetable it says: "Passengers travelling to Gateshead, Low Fell, Birtley and Chester-le-Street can board the bus in Newcastle at the foot of John Dobson Street"
I'd suggest that, if he was only going up to Eldon Square, I can see why the driver refused travel. However, if he was wanting to travel on the journey going outwards, he would have been able to do so. |

Anyone know the Fleet Number for (NK16 BYG), and why has (NK16 BYD) been given Fleet Number 5423, thought that would of been 5424 if the Reg Plates were in Alphabetical Order, is there no Reg Plates ending in BYC among the new batch of Streetlites for the Prince Bishops at all.

Some drivers really do lack people skills when it comes to irate passengers. The driver who was faced with a couple of gits (they were gits - I'd been sat near them having to listen to their foul language and racist views) having a go at him for not stopping the X21 on Blackett street was surprisingly cool and calm considering the dire journey he'd had, that day, so it is possible to remain professional under such pressure. Some people are much better at it than others, though. |
