Mind you, that would require Nexus to actually care enough to want to actually get value for the money they're spending!

Bus coming ( couple of minutes early for a change) and put my hand out. The bus wasn't indicating to stop and if out was speeding up and yes, drove straight passed. Late for work as missed connection.
I might just leave it as it might just be a one off. Funny thing is we use the taxi bit for our staff to get who when on a late so i do know a few of there staff. what do we reckon?

One driver told me I was lying until I showed him bustimes.org tracker
He was fuming as he said we will lose the route ... I showed him evidence of trying to ring gct too
He actually stopped his bus at the terminus where I got off rang the gaffa and asked him to look into it and who was driving and said openly said I can't defend that maybe a late bus but not an early bus by 11mins on that route even taking one estate out is 6mins but he went round it!

While I don't know the exact location, the housing stock does look similar so I'd guess it would be around there - if filmed Gatehsead.

(25 Oct 2023, 11:19 am)GuyParkRoyal wrote According to the Chronicle the James Bolam bus scene was in Commercial Road, Byker.I think in the back of my mind, I knew the location was either Byker, Walker, or Wallsend so I've either read that article before or someone has told me. However, I wasn't 100% sure so I didn't want to outright dismiss Gatehsead as the location as filming did definitely take place in the borough (A house at the end of Delacor Road in Blaydon provides the location for Terry's sister's house, for example).
