Andy Plant I don't want to be nasty to all the people at Go North East who work really hard to get us around, even if some of you are as grumpy as we customers
sometimes. BUT to be award winning we must have better buses on the Consett routes ( and no doubt elsewhere)...they just break down too often...some of the new buses on other routes are good, but Consett
busses are PANTS. Shiny new buses first, then shiny awards please.
