The driver's cab has screens up which cross the entire front of the bus and the ticket machine is in an awkward position for both driver (has to turn) and passenger (has to reach) as a result.

I still have Avril Lavigne rattling around my head from the on bus radio, though

Several of the GCT fleet don't seem to be tracking consistently.

No wonder half of the services they operate end up being cancelled when the Nexus consultations come out.

(31 May 2023, 9:44 pm)F114TML wrote Having said that, was the driver just taking cash and moving on or were they doing stuff with the machine? Could well be the sale was rdcorded, but the ticket didn't print.

(05 Jul 2023, 8:07 am)Thomas12 wrote Think someone at Nexus needs to look at the fact GCT obviously can’t run their current contracts in North Tyneside.

The amount of journeys missing is a joke on a contracted service - still at least one bus missing from the 19, 342 and 335 pretty much every day.

Not to mention they’re using buses which don’t meet the contract specification.
