They also operated under other names including First Choice Travel, as is often the case with these types of companies. If I remember right the directors involved were banned from operating another company otherwise I'm sure there would be a re-incarnation somewhere! Rush Travel are a good example of that, then became A-Coach and now KJS Travel.

Leyland Olympian Laura - GNE's complaints procedure says "We promise to respond within five working days." There's no mention of some complaints taking longer. See http://www.simplygo.com/contactusform/ for full details and also advice on what to do if you've not received a response after 6 working days.

Ken Kennedy Where are you getting that from Ian? I've read the above link and it's black and white that they PROMISE to reply within 5 working days. So it's broken promises after that.

Still, one good thank you outweighs ten negative responses. Lets not lose sight of the reason of why he does what he does.

"TRAVEL: As people leave the office early to head home for the weekend traffic is beginning to build up in the region and remember to take care in the rain and watch out for surface water

Very slow traffic on A1 Western Bypass northbound between Metro Centre in Gateshead and Kenton Bar Roundabout

Ian Hignett If you don't want it investigated and receive feedback, that's fine they can take it on here but if want them to look further into it and get back to you it will have to be logged as I said before.

Ken Kennedy I feel sorry for the nice drivers you come into contact with. Especially the cute lass that drives the 58. The miserable ones only ensure they all get tarred with the same brush.

Clifton Hignett III Well said Ken. But unfortunately it's the miserable and rude ones whom we remember most. One time, one driver was rude enough to interrupt my performance on the 537 going to Shields from Hylton Castle. I was in the middle of crooning, swooning and serenading the passengers on the bus with my silver tongue and along he came and stopped it all. Told me that I had to sit down and no loud music was allowed on the bus. I remember that incident badly!

Clifton Hignett III I was singing Sinatra at the time. It would have been an impossible dream to drop those puns to the driver. Besides, I had a ferry to catch at shields. Once across the other side of the water, I had another journey to make. I had to catch the 313 to New York, New York near Whitley Bay not the one in America which was previously known as New Amsterdam.
