Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - August 2014
(04 Aug 2014, 8:26 pm)NEBCD Malarkey Well 9120 entered Service on Friday 1st August on the X66, So I would assume it's last day on the X66 will be Friday 8th, or Sunday 10th at the Latest before moving to another Depot on Monday 11th, and continuing in Service on Tuesday 12th, as the Drivers will need Familiarization beforehand, which as we know takes a Day.

(04 Aug 2014, 8:34 pm)Dan Remember that the X66 rota is still dedicated (which is why you see drivers with epaulettes when using the X66), and it's tiny...Sounds like an endless task. Don't think I've seen the same driver on the Lime services twice, in all the years I've used them!
All drivers at Stanley will have to receive familiarisation with the Merc, so one should assume it will take longer.

Don't think I've seen the same driver on the Lime services twice, in all the years I've used them!There used to be one that always did the same morning run that I used from The Wavendon to Park Lane on a weekday morning, but I can't remember whether it was a Stanley run or indeed Chester.

(04 Aug 2014, 9:17 pm)Drifter60 You'd imagine GNE would want to use a limited amount of respected drivers to trail a new 'product'. Put this way in my line of work if I trailing a 'new concept' I'd ask some of my best work force to do it rather than just letting any old billy do it.
You'd thought management would want and need feedback they could trust from the drivers.

(04 Aug 2014, 9:24 pm)citaro5284 How would you quantify respected drivers - most drivers think they are good drivers and if the majority of the depot is going to drive the vehicle, the opinions of all have to be taken into account.
The trouble with picking a handful of drivers is if the vehicle is bought and the rest of the depot then start to drive it and then there is issues, the handful of drivers who drove it get it in the neck...
