(19 Jul 2016, 6:33 pm)NK53 TKT Now running VERY late...

At least I know what will be on the Q3 now, on another note will it retain WiFi?


There should be no reason to withdraw wifi from the bus, all buses in the GNE fleet will have wifi etc... Except for older buses in the fleet which will be getting withdrawn

They have none on the bus at all, on the blue scanias they just have timetables for the 19! And there are no posters up about it on the Scanias (they just have them for day returns) and the B10s just have them for the 9 which don't even have any significant changes. Bit crap really for people who aren't on the internet

Totally agree it appears there has been a bit of sloppiness in regards to these changes,battle hill gained new timetables in bus stops on the 14th,10 days before the changes are due to commence,some stops more recently,paper timetables only appearing now(from what we've saw),and both stops outside Benton Asda and showing on the timetables that the 42 will stop at both stops which i dont think it Is

Is it the 53 stop showing the 42 stopping there as it's the same route as the 17 so that doesn't sound right

In what?, service changes?, general stuff?


Service changes is quite bad atm, i wonder how many passengers know that GNE won't be running the W sevices in Whitley Bay from this Sunday...

Or if they've gained the likes of the 33/33A/168 etc...

I know it's been debated but why does it matter to passengers if GNE aren't running W's or that they are running the 33? The route and timetable hasn't changed so there isn't actually anything to tell passengers?

As long as information about the things which are changing is getting out to passengers that's what is important - though it is disappointing if there aren't any posters on buses about the 17

Are GNE tickets being accepted on the W services following the the changes? I would say that was quite an important issue, particularly if a passenger needs to find additional money to complete a journey now. Regardless of how embarrassing it would be to a complainant that 'yes, the website is out of date and shows we are the operator. No, actually we actually aren't the operator'

Similarly I would have thought the new services would have been promoted or at least mentioned, so that pass holders are aware they can now use that service with a GNE ticket.

General stuff really.

- Timetables
- Fare Changes
- Service Changes (e.g. Contract)
- Patronising social media team, which I know other members have touched on.

Interesting to see Hexhams depot could get an increase.. Wonder why.

I though Riverside could have that many buses in now anyway.
