(08 Oct 2022, 6:18 pm)Unber43 wrote Newcastle for GNE what a joke, I know it was the traffic but two 47's not running a now, a X45, 3 21's, 2 X1's all NIS a 10A leaving 20 mins late, an X10 leaving 10 mins late
In the space of about 30 mins. Only three buses (heading through Gateshead/Metro) actually ran in that 30 mins.
Not to mention around 4pm the queue for the X21/21 was up to Stand C and the X1 queue at Stand B with 3 coming in together.
5pm X10 was absolutely rammed full of people who would be getting the train and footballs fans. Glad I got out of Eldon Square when it did.
Another Saturday another disgraceful performance from GNE.
Think all operators were affected. All Morpeth express services in and out of Newcastle this afternoon were running with excessive delays. The X18 I was on, was nearly 30L (due at 1245 and left around 1313) when I boarded at Morpeth and the X15 before that was also bordering on 30L too.
Also, seen a couple of NIS vehicles moving around Ashington, so guessing the X21/X22 were getting delayed too.
Junior Great North Run, Newcastle at home and a rail strike will all have compounded issues today.
You seem to paint the idea that it is only GNE that are piss poor, but when in reality its not.
