The 64 doesn't even match the sunday short. No one will have a clue when it's turning up.

I don't think anything matches Sunday's. It's obviously a 'do as much as possible' with few drivers.

Aye, but the risk is that it's not worth the bother if people don't know when it's turning up. A lot of the pensioners on the 64 act like mobile phones are some sort of sorcery.

Not being in the industry, so someone educate me, but am surprised they’re running any services at all that week. They’re taking passengers for free so have all the wages, diesel, engineering, staff costs to pay for with no revenue coming in.

Also from a passenger point of view it’s probably worth saying most should still try to make alternative arrangements if at all possible, because such a skeleton service is going to be so busy as to likely have standing loads and refuse lots of passengers - frequencies of 10 or 15 mins becoming hourly doesn’t bode well for a guaranteed journey to/from work!

Is there a misprint where Mr Gilbert is quoted as ‘Despite the extra cost to us of running these additional buses’ should read ‘Thanks to the opportunity to make a shed load of money’?

I don’t blame GNE for chasing a commercial opportunity, actually surprised they’re not looking at more corridors, but they shouldn’t dress it up like they’re coming to save the day out of kindness.

Stagecoach Teesside are helping in a true sense by accepting Arriva tickets. Though I imagine Arriva will compensate them they could refuse to help and try to poach the customers long term by advertising discounted season tickets in the run up to a strike by a competitor...

Are any Arriva North East services operating tommorow? Because a Stockton driver has informed me that Stockton Depot will be closed tommorow.

Feel sorry for anybody depending on Arriva tommorow to take them to work or leisure faciltys. I expect Northern Rail to be extremely busy tommorow.

Well seeing how tommorow service 63 is the only Arriva bus running from Arriva North East you would think they might provide two buses opposed to one seeing how double deckers can't be allocated.

During a period of industrial action?  

They're providing a service based on who they can scrape together to drive buses... I am not sure where you think the resource to drive a duplicate would come from Huh

Well the other managers that have PCV licences, although for them it'll be a pick and choose so I assume many declined to working on a Sunday. How they can provide a bus to Grosmont which has trains aswell, whilst Robin Hood's Bay and Scarborough go without is beyond me.
