Deptford has been suffering so bad with late runnings.

Anyone any idea why loads of 94's have been cancelled today?? Looks like they are running towards south end of team valley then just disappear and come up as cancelled. Next one from Salisbury is over an hour according to the appt??

One corner of the Bermuda Triangle is the Angel of the North.

Lovely to see the Durham Diamonds all very late this morning. [going of bustimes, usually accurate for this sort of thing]

16A 08:56 to durham 22 minutes late
16A 08:45 to Stanley 7 minutes late

16 7:54 to durham 10 minutes late
16 08:17 to durham 17 minutes late
16 08:00 to shotley 26 minutes late

I posted in another thread about the 29 been turned at gateshead due to late running after the Leicester city game. I complained and go a very sincery reply from GNE saying how it was running 30 plus late and it was turned as the driver was going to run out of hours. They also said however that with it being an hourly service something ( they didnt say what) should have been put into place for the dozens waiting at eldon square! To make matters worse for myself went for a few pint to kill time and ive bloody lost my magpie mover!!!

Anyway Im sitting her wondering what somethings should have been put in place?? Any ideas ??

Your Magpie Mover? Should have been left in your pocket.

Probably spare driver in a spare bus covering the cancelled journey. I assume one or the other was unavailable.

It would really help the Durham 21s if they didn’t call at arnison 2 days before Christmas

6225 on the X10 today: https://bustimes.org/vehicles/gnel-6225#

Started 25 minutes late, 33 minutes late by Middlesbrough. Left Middlesbrough 37 minutes late, arrived in Newcastle 54 minutes late. Left Newcastle 42 minutes late, and is currently 47 minutes late at Heworth on the way back north.

There would have been a driver change at GHM between trips to Middlesbrough, so why on earth wasn't it regulated given that it's running near enough an hour behind schedule? Equally, it evidently cannot keep to schedule (assuming this is one of the ones limited to about 45mph for some bizarre reason), so why wasn't the vehicle swapped for something more suitable for the 1310 ex-Newcastle?

Yet more shocking service delivery by GNE and the clowns running Riverside.
