Go North East, which operates services across County Durham, Teesside and Tyne & Wear, has been criticised for rebranding buses instead of offering a four percent rise.
It has since been claimed that some services facing disruption are suffering problems due to a number of staff walking out over the level of pay in recent weeks."

One worth following. Ballot is on Wednesday.

So these 'incidents' where buses aren't running and we see office or depot staff (fitters and the like) stepping in, isn't just Covid related?
Interesting. Particularly when we see and hear all those comments directed at GCT following their staffing issues.

All not well behind the scenes at Team GNE.

Hopefully we see this sorted soon and we don't have another Oxford Road on our hands.
