They're my 'favourite' mainly because they go to the places I want to go, they have the nicer fleet (in the places that I want to travel, at least), and are the cheaper option.They must have changed then becsuse I lived in pure arrivaland for 14 years and, even with the dawn of social media and vehicle tracking, it was anyone's guess if a 22 would turn up. As for the social media team, they have a few bods down south reading the same scripts the ever more hopeless app has access to, without the local knowledge.
I live in what is primarily Arriva land, and do use them somewhat regularly, and I generally have no issues with them. They turn up when they're supposed to, and actually tell me if the service is delayed or cancelled, unlike GNE who just leave me wondering if they're going to turn around at Bishop or not if they're running the slightest bit late.
