It highlights however that GNE needs a number for passengers to contact about problems whenever buses are running.
Wonder if it had something to do with the incoming driver coming in late for his break, therefore impacting on the 2nd half of his duty. Happens quite regularly at our depot on certain duties with short breaks (35-40 mins).
