Why are they not accepting TNE day savers? They should be accepted, so should report this to the company/Nexus.

Assuming nothing has changed with the timetables, in that case they'll also have the 335/359.

The amount of times complaining to nexus about them in the past not accepted the tickets is annoying

According to the TNE website GCT should accept them. Their logo is on there under operators who accept them.

I wonder what has been complained about more on here, GCT's general existence, or GNE spaffing money on repaints.
Must be close

When I’ve had any issues with them- early running, non operation I find it easier to call them directly. They are very accommodating. I find most of the drivers extremely decent and compared to GNE & SNE the regular drivers on the 342 are great.

Arriva - For whatever problem it is with GNE, it's the usual deflection tactic by some.

The NSA's were broken, well Arriva have none.
Too many repaints, well Arriva don't do any.
Some route has problems, well the X93 is worse.
GNE are cancelling buses, so are Arriva so it's fine.
etc.

Mind it's much less, since GNE went on strike, and people realised they're actually worse. That said GCT are also the same, as a usual deflection tactic.

i used to defend GCT from the grief they got on here but when i had to use them during the GNE strike i've seen another side to them. Bus not running - ring the bus section - oh its got a puncher so its not running and phone put down! And you'd think the drivers with them been nexus service would be happy that punters were getting on there buses but it seems from the response you get that your a chore!

GCT have the youngest fleet in the North East, so they do have that going for them.

They also have the most noticeable skid marks in the wheelchair bay ironically made by one passenger

With regards to GCT? If they won the contract to run Durham P&R why do they operate blank canvas white buses and not branded buses surely it was part of the contract ?

The E200MMCs now carry branding for the P&R services in a slightly revised version carried under Scarlet Band operation.

Those Iveco things now carry a VERY minimisatic vinyls for Durham Castle & Cathedral plus National Trust: Crook Hall Gardens.

Chances are DCC were slow to come up with anything, Scarlet Band had a lengthy period of anonymous white buses on the P&R before something was put in place (a competition between two designs from some college students), was the same story when GNE had the 40's before, supposedly GNE got bored of waiting on DCC to come up with anything so just came up with the route branding themselves.

I'm assuming that the changes proposed to the 35 and Q3 won't be happening as no variations have been registered to either services.

Then again we are still in the early registration. Might come out next week or the week after. Nexus haven't even updated the consultation page so much be waiting to fully confirm it

Surely a blank canvas bus will make it easier to spot skidmatks.

Wonder why they didn't just extend the 18 back to Wallsend like it used to be rather than a separate service

Different areas, quite a lot of the 553 route is unserved by anything else currently.

https://bustimes.org/services/553-wallse...spital#map - That's the route, guessing extended to Battle Hill again, if it's serving Prospect Avenue, unsure on that but.
