(09 May 2021, 6:57 am)Dan wrote A cynic would suggest that Gateshead Central Taxis can offer such low prices because they do not run the contracts as they should. False economy for the winning bid to be cheaper, if it comes at the expense of the contract not running as it was tendered.

I think what most people want is for Gateshead Central Taxis to operate the contracts as Nexus have tendered them - ie, no repeated missing journeys on the same contracts, time and time again - and for action to be taken if this does happen (which we know it does). I suspect as enthusiasts we don’t really care who runs the contract as long as it does actually run.

I'm an equal opportunity complainer, if I have an issue with GNE I'll be sure to bring it up. Equally, if GCT did their job and ran the buses properly, I wouldn't have anything to complain about.
Similarly, as much as I love a good whinge about the state of Arriva's fleet (and some of their drivers), you won't hear me complaining about their services.
