Disruptions and driver shortages
(03 Sep 2022, 9:09 pm)streetdeckfan I don't think there's a set route for dead runs is there?no, however how do drivers learn Dead runs, if there are dead runs from such places as South Sheilds & Hexham going via 27/10 would take ages
I know with the X21 some drivers would go via the A167 while others would go down the A1.

So do they just need to know where to join and turn off of the A69 and Leam lane etc

(03 Sep 2022, 9:27 pm)mb134 I need to consult with management before getting in my car to drive to the shops.I just don't see how you should rely on drivers to do after work research on running buses dead to and from places.
I may get lost on my trip to Tesco and then what would I do? I'd have no option but to blame management for their lack of babysitting on my journey. I certainly couldn't just check Google.

Especially with roads with weight/road restrictions I know the usual 10A dead run avoids a road which I assume is deemed to be usafe for buses however would Riverside Depot inform them of this..

Before this thread is inevitably locked due to the repetitive nature of the discourse within as well as the overzealous moderating we see regularly from the likes of Northern156 and Tyresmoke, I would like to add one last comment....
You don't get bus services this bad in North Korea
FACT!!!

The passenger transport email that Adrian provided, from experience (not regarding buses) responds pretty sharpish during office hours.
(03 Sep 2022, 6:58 pm)streetdeckfan Isn't it just a team of 2 for GNE these days?
And isn't Arriva's CS based in Sunderland? I'm sure last time I spoke to them I got someone with a funny accent
