I walked past three stands and stood half way down a long queue at the fourth and didn't see any whilst stood there, but more to the point, if I was any customer selected at random, with no knowledge of Sunday timetables being in place, why would I go looking for the information?
Thought I'd pop over this evening and take a second look, in case I needed to correct my original post.
I know GNE especially have made use of print to good effect in the past, not only producing clear and eye-catching designs, but affixing the said posters in places where you'll see them. So I was looking out for more of the same; large print, eye-catching and prominent around the bus station, but this is the grand sum of what I found:
So the "poster" mentioned above is actually an A4 print-out of the website post, including hyperlinks that obviously can't be clicked. Fair enough if your service is on the same board as this print-out is stuck to, but if you're relying on a connection that is listed, you'll have to wait until you get there.
For completeness, I looked at the other stands and I could only see the same A4 print out stuck to them. Not even that was stuck anywhere else in the bus station, e.g. queuing points or places that'll catch your eye, which goes back to my point about any random customer... if you don't know that a Sunday service is in operation, why would you go looking to check?
I did wait for the message to change on the large Nexus boards too, in case there was a specific message on this, but it only seemed to rotate between the times and a generic disruption message. I can't comment if that was any different yesterday, but I'd highly doubt there was anyone in at Durham County Council (who I think manage these boards now?) to update them.
