If it is a nexus secured service and the service is not operating- this must be reporter to Nexus and handy to cc a local cllr in to make them aware of unreliability issues
I can't help think why GCT don't track all of their buses?
Maybe being cynical but if no-one complains to Nexus they persume the service runs.
Yeah driver shortages or breakdown etc are not uncommon in the industry
But a Nexus secured service must be ran . If they can't run it - they should ask another bus company to run it on there behalf as a temporary measure even if it is an odd shift or two - surely bus companies would be happy to work together for the benefit of passengers.
GCT also have an added benefit of running a taxi perhaps as an emergency temporary fix - like station taxis operate "TaxiBus " service
Secured services should be there to benefit passengers.
I spoke to Nexus a few months ago about an incident and I was told to check the website and social media of GCT to see short term cancellations
Non operational services damage the bus industry and services and make them deemed by the public as unreliable
