As people.kkow the service I get from where I live have gone from been ran commercially by gne to being paid for by dcc. A few things have made me scratch my head and something else happens on saturday too so I'm looking for answer to the following....

I've asked before but dont think anyone replied.... do gne secured service keep the money from fares or does this go.to nexus/dcc?

The reason I ask is 2 reasons. I've been on the 29 on a couple of occasion when punters have got on paying cash but got off without getting a ticket. Now this could just be they want a direct bus to town in the 21 but online occasion I heard the driver sayit would be cheaper on the 21? This isnt the case from low fell is it??

The second thing is something I've seen on a couple of occasions which is the 29 showing its destination as gateshead. It passed bus stops full of punter along the fellnon saturday and I would say this is the reason. When he did stop and was asked by customers about it he said it was broken but wouldnt this mean the bus would have to got out of service?

What I'm saying is along the low fell corridor are gne want punters to use the 21 so they get the $$$$$ as the get paid a set amount for 28b29 no matter what it picks up???

An mo I've bot had any beer today yet!
