Disruptions and driver shortages
If the last bus is cancelled, or it doesn't go right to the last dest e.g 16:10 X21 to West Aukland doesn't run, and 16:40 only goes to Bishop, can you claim any money back if you were going to get that bus or do you just have to fork out ££ for a taxi?

(20 Dec 2022, 5:25 pm)L469 YVK 22:45 306 ex Newcastle cancelled tonight! ABSOLUTE DISGRACE OUT OF ALL NIGHTS!
Arriva could surely subcontract out given the match being on!

(20 Dec 2022, 11:04 pm)mb134 No idea on the specifics, but if you're short on drivers and have the option between running a 306 (which is pretty much covered by 3 other bus routes and the Metro) or something like the 52, you're not running the 306.
Was this posted in Haymarket, or just going off Bustimes?
Just interested as 7516 was had tracked on the 306 late afternoon but abruptly stopped and has been having issues with tracking, so it is possible this operated at least some of the post 5pm journeys.

(23 Dec 2022, 4:37 pm)F114TML Why did it need to go round Easington? Couldn't it have gone to Moorsley and then done the same route as the 65 (missing out Buckinghamshire Road) to Belmont and pick up the route from there?

Today...today it was a nightmare there was traffic all over was backed up (except A1!). There were 4 Angels arriving at Gateshead, 3 56's, 2 X66's, 2 27's, 2 X1s all came together pretty sure the 56 was like 40 mins late. Not to mention 47's & X45s being 45 mins late but there was nothing GNE could have done I feel like there should be a senario inplace for such severe delays.
Either a better situation to deal with delayed operations Whether that is picking up at certain stops then going NIS and doing drop off only.

(25 Dec 2022, 7:40 am)MurdnunoC Went out for a 21 today only to discover it's not running.
What a bunch of cowboys,
Absolute Shambles.
Fucking joke of a company.
Complete greed, only care about their shareholders
