Measures like this, while a pain in the arse for passengers, are far preferable to the current mess of some buses cancelled, some doing one half of a route, some doing the other half, with the resultant huge and unpredictable gaps, often coinciding with similar gaps on alternative services, leaving people stranded for long periods.
Interesting the level of unanimity here in terms of preference for reduced but predictable timetable (approach of SNE and apparently soon to be ANE) to the attempt to run a full timetable unreliably (GNEs approach for several months now).
It seems obvious to me which would be preferable to customers and appears to be borne out here too … but does anyone take the opposite view?
And if not, and it is as obvious as it appears that operating emergency timetables is better than – to use the phrase of the day – the shitshow that is GNE’s offering, why have GNE persisted with this failing approach for so long?
Would introduction of emergency timetables across the board have reduced inconvenience to customers and potentially done less damage to the GNE brand?
Seems really odd they took the emergency timetable approach to a minority of services but not the rest, despite very obvious chronic failures in delivery across the business.
