The fact is the public don't understand how bad its hit business. How many complaining did you see to Arriva when they were hit with driver shortages. Go North East are at least telling people there's gonna be service cancellations. Is any other services doing this. (Possibly not thay I've seen) yet go North East are hit with complain left right and centre.
I mean Go North East this year alone have been hit by the media a ton of times. (Pay to drivers, Cancel of service, Service changes) you name it
Not trying to be funny but GNE deserve criticism for some of the cancellations today. It's all good putting posts out but when they're complete stupid decisions then they deserve it.
The 17:35 and 18:05 X5/X15 being the stand out silly cancellations. It's all good saying look online and having time but if I worked 9.15am - 5.15pm I'd be extremely pissed off that the next to Lanchester is 19:05 or if I'm going direct to Shotley Bridge there isn't a service at all.
I'd be well in truly complaining and if I could drive I'd be straight in the car the day after. I feel sorry for whoever has to drive 19:05 bus. Yet the X45/X46 and 16/16A has barely any cancellations when they're every 15/30 minutes. That's poor planning imo.
Special mention for the 23:00 X1 and 19:40 47A for being cancelled being the last buses of the night again aswell for part of the route.
