RE: Disruptions and driver shortages - Ambassador - 29 Jul 2022 I'm half expecting the Iraqi Information Minister (there's a reference for the kids) to start announcing GNE cancellations 'Everything is fine, there are no cancellations, all is good, they are lies - the evil axis of Stagecoach and Arriva are behind this. We have lots of drivers, too many drivers, we sent them all home. Customers are clapping and cheering our timetabled buses and our value fares and world class speedy contactless' RE: Disruptions and driver shortages - MurdnunoC - 29 Jul 2022 (29 Jul 2022, 11:06 am)Ambassador wrote I'm half expecting the Iraqi Information Minister (there's a reference for the kids) to start announcing GNE cancellations I thought the Libyian Information Minister was just as convincing.

We apologise sincerely for any inconvenience caused. 5A badly effected tomorrow RE: Disruptions and driver shortages - peter - 29 Jul 2022 (29 Jul 2022, 3:57 pm)Michael wrote Just noticed this on Arriva's site: They've been posting cancellations from Stockton off and on for the past week or so now, always tends to be a small number of journeys on the 8 and 9 with the 5A being slightly more worse for wear. I suppose at least there is still the 5 running half hourly, only those in Hutton Gate in Guisborough missing out, which is still served by the 28 tbf. RE: Disruptions and driver shortages - Unber43 - 29 Jul 2022 (28 Jul 2022, 10:25 pm)BusLoverMum wrote Well, if Adrian is working in Durham, tomorrow, he wo t be getting the 50 home, since there's none after 2:40, it seems. (no idea what setting made that so small)It seem the 16:45 & 18:25 ran 18:25 was seemingly ran by an Angel who ran dead to Durham, then they switched buses with 6302 at CLS RE: Disruptions and driver shortages - Jimmi - 29 Jul 2022 (29 Jul 2022, 6:15 pm)Unber43 wrote It seem the 16:45 & 18:25 ran 6322. It ran from CLS to Durham in service on the 50 then back to CLS connecting with 6302 there.

People can't get to the match on the bus cos of poor public transport, operator complains about traffic impacting on the already poor public transport and cancels more services due to late running, making it even poorer... Mind, I've got no idea what's causing so much disruption in Sunderland. Plenty of buses cancelled there due to late running too.

My friend sent me a photo from Park lane and the 20/X20 stand was down past the 35 stand, there must have been 60 people in that queue minimum. RE: Disruptions and driver shortages - Ambassador - 30 Jul 2022 Our young Martijn was on one of his very very very late 21s which ran packed through low fell NIS today Not sure what the regulation is like but the reliability today was woeful not helped by the traffic lights at Birtley three tuna. 6 21s passed throug low fell without anyone being able to get on RE: Disruptions and driver shortages - Ambassador - 30 Jul 2022 Our young Martijn was on one of his very very very late 21s which ran packed through low fell NIS today Not sure what the regulation is like but the reliability today was woeful not helped by the traffic lights at Birtley three tuna. 6 21s passed throug low fell without anyone being able to get on RE: Disruptions and driver shortages - Rob44 - 30 Jul 2022 We after the match last night the 28b from Wilson square never turned up. Couldnt get on app. So got the 21 which was rammed. Left people at gateshead as it was so full with people sitting on stairs if this happened during the season I'll be going to nexus and asking for mu $25 quid magpie mover money back! Oh and another think I read on facebook ( pinch of salt taken) was that earlier in week a driver on the 29 forgot.ro.gk to.elson square. From the post those waiting managed to speak to a gne lead driver who in there words was very rude but cause they said they werent moving he drove them to kibblesworth himself.... RE: Disruptions and driver shortages - BusLoverMum - 30 Jul 2022 "Birtley three tuna." Seems a bit fishy.

I was kind of wondering if it'd managed to get the app to work i would have seen the 28b sitting at market street empty RE: Disruptions and driver shortages - BusLoverMum - 31 Jul 2022 No sign of a cancellations list, today, so all must be hunky dory, only so far, the x21 we rushed to be ready for hasn't run and, while waiting for a 6, a 21 only going as far as Chester has passed us. RE: Disruptions and driver shortages - Jack Gill - 31 Jul 2022 There is a cancellations list, just right under yesterdays.. RE: Disruptions and driver shortages - F114TML - 31 Jul 2022 "X-lines X1 | X1A: From Newcastle: The 12:13 will terminate at the Galleries 12:45, 14:33, 17:53, the 20:00 will start service at the Galleries 20:28.

RE: Disruptions and driver shortages - BusLoverMum - 31 Jul 2022 (31 Jul 2022, 9:59 am)Rob44 wrote looks like the 11am for bishop is starting from CLS if ive read it correctly?Yes, thats the one that was cancelled from Newcastle. At least a list is up, now. RE: Disruptions and driver shortages - Unber43 - 01 Aug 2022 I must really commend GNE for the layout of cancellations, even tho there are still some bad ones e.g 93 - From Retail World: 16:05, 16:25, 16:45, 17:05, 17:25. From my looking on the list I don't believe other than whats happening with the 93 there is many dual cancellations if any. Last 50 from Durham's cancelled but from what i've seen thats really about it RE: Disruptions and driver shortages - Jack Gill - 01 Aug 2022 Cancellations seem to be settling down just a little bit so far this week. Although it's only been 1 day..

Although it's only been 1 day.. Is the bar really that low these days? There's still 190 full/partial cancellations today from Go North East. RE: Disruptions and driver shortages - Jack Gill - 02 Aug 2022 While it's definitely still not good, it is somewhat better than the cancellations have been on past days.

Although it's only been 1 day.. I'm not sure whether your looking at the same list as me but it's absolutely horrendous still considering they butchered a large chunk of the network over a week ago and none of the school services are running currently. I know there's driver's on holidays etc atm but there's also a lot more school work coming in soon, who only knows who's going to be driving these not to mention a strike coming up at CLS. It's like it's never ending it's been going on part of a year and there seemed to be confidence that there was a surplus of driver's and there'd be no cancellations after the changes which hasn't materialised.

RE: Disruptions and driver shortages - F114TML - 02 Aug 2022 Yes. If this keeps up, the school contracts are going to be interesting... RE: Disruptions and driver shortages - Unber43 - 02 Aug 2022 Seems to be above 200 partly/full cancelled buses tomorrow, with mutliple (2 or more) in a row cancelled on 4, 20, X20 |
