GNE get a lot of flack, some deserved and some me and others being grumpy.

However, the goodwill and feel good factor coming out of this tour is lovely to see. It’s engaging people outside the usual community and regular passengers engaging and talking about the company, perhaps subliminally creating a mini generation who warmly associate the brand with Christmas, Whoever came up with it should be warmly congratulated and get an extra present in their stocking this year.
