The Q3 service seems to be getting worse for disruption, which seems to be unrelated to driver availability.
I can deal with that, as the live tracker is there. What I am sick of is the last run from Wallsend being missed. It happens far too often, seems to be a weekly occurrence at least.
For example today, the service was running around 20 minutes late getting into Newcastle from Great Park. I'm guessing the driver than transferred the passengers onto the following service. It then ran light to Walker Shops to restart the journey, completely missing out the Wallsend-Walker section. To operate from Wallsend it would have only been 15 minutes or so late.
Surely this can't be deemed acceptable? I think someone at GNE needs to look into the Q3, maybe adding more time, or possibly splitting the route at Newcastle. It's one of the most unreliable routes I have used.
