Go North East | Sunday timetables all weekend
Go North East | Sunday timetables all weekend
(19 May 2022, 1:38 pm)F114TML And they could've used it as a way to plug their vacancies.To say there is a enhanced Sunday timetable running on a Saturday is a bit of a joke. When there are no enhancements except a few services are running normal Saturday services.
"On Saturday, we'll be running an enhanced Sunday timetable due to driver shortages. If you want to help drive us to a green future and help bust congestion*, then apply to be a bus driver with us here: (link)"
*We'll ignore the fact it took buses about 20 minutes to get from the Colliery Inn at Murton to Dalton Park yesterday because of loads of traffic and a lane being blocked.

(19 May 2022, 3:08 pm)Aaron21 That's the way GNE are going about it. The line that I mentioned above is pathetic. It goes to show Go North East don't care about the passengers anymore. No other companies have done this
Stagecoach haven't put out a tweet saying. Oh were running buses to a different timetable due to a final. What about all pubs in Sunderland that will play the match on tv

(19 May 2022, 3:16 pm)Dan Stagecoach don’t have a staff shortage in Sunderland. That’s the difference. They are only under pressure in Newcastle due to the 317 service contract award and return of the 100.GNE won't be under pressure for long. Also there has been barely any sunderland cancellations recently.

The fact that a competent professional in a well paid role signed it off is the biggest worry.
It shows how utterly out of touch some of the management are

Seems as though 'everyone' is going down to Wembley I doubt we will see many full buses or close to full.

Professional and competent? Not sure that description works for whoever signed that one off.

(19 May 2022, 8:09 pm)stagecoachbusdepot I see there's an enthusiast been busy on the GNE facebook page, picking a fight with any customers posting negative sentiments with regard to the reduced operations planned for Saturday.

(20 May 2022, 8:12 am)Andreos1 I see the mass exodus from Sunderland has began.
Getting all sorts of images and videos on my social media of fans heading off to London.
It will be interesting to see the huge impact on services today.

It makes me wonder if they're doing this now, is this going to set a precedent for the future in that whenever any kind of event is happening GNE are going to use that as a convenient excuse to reduce service levels on that day.

At least 4 SAFC supporters boarded the train I’m on from Stoke this morning. Bravely, First Potteries are still going to provide a full service today.
Like others have said, it’s not the service reduction that grates, it’s the spin. Just re-read the press release and there’s not even an apology. Happy to take your season ticket money then reduce its value by removing journeys.
It’s tone deaf and arrogant.

Bravely, First Potteries are still going to provide a full service today.Yeah, I mean the way they've worded it makes it sound like it's a perfectly normal thing to do and should just be accepted as such by the customer. In reality, it's totally unacceptable practice and should rightly be criticised.

Look North says they'll be plenty of people flocking to Sunderland today, they must be lying too?!!! We've "all" come down with football fever and it's everyone's whole lives and must revolve around the fixtures list?!!

We've "all" come down with football fever and it's everyone's whole lives and must revolve around the fixtures list?!!I think if we've learned anything over the past say week is that GNE is just ignorant.
The blissful ignorance of a spin is unbelievable, no apology and an excuse that's not going to go down too well for those of us who couldn't give a toss about football or have somewhere important to be today, granted the match has likely led to an additional shortage of drivers who may be following the match in some form but the excuse of a football match for service reductions, especially one that's happening at Wembley will be lost on anyone who isn't interested in it and question why they should be inconvinced by it. Like I said earlier, at a time when people are fed up with bus companies coming up with every excuse and constantly blaming COVID with little improvement (if any it's going the other way), to blame a service reduction on a football match is such a smack to the face to those who have already had to persevere with months of sub par service offerings, whilst I agree with the decision that reducing the frequency to ensure greater liklihoods is somewhat a lesser of evil options they could've made, its just the spin they put on it that's come across as tone death to some.

Do these marketing "professional" and "leadership" have a Degree in bad business
Also yesterday I saw GNE false advertise about 30 times, one must have a degree in false advertising aswell
