The Reliability of the X1 is always woeful and thats before its left Washington, most of the time two/three follow each other into newcastle same with the 21 two/three at a time following each other, its like that most of the time during the day.
adjust accordingly and adapt, GNE management is simply willfully incompetent

They'd winge if they cancelled half the services to have a more stable timetable aswell which is the alternative since they can't use robots to drive buses.Well when you waited 30 mins for a bus to the metrocentre from Eldon Square when they're advertised to be every 5 mins, which I don't even think is the case when/if the 10 goes back to the old timetable.
Ironic as they're probably the people who get on buses, abuse the driver, when they can't do anything, and they quit leading to more delays.
This should be aimed at the government if anyone as it's massively their fault.
Same with the 21 advertised to be every 10 mins, you're waiting 30 mins and thats not even with any cancelled bus, X21 an hour.
And also I don't know if it was aimed at me but I would never take any anger out at the driver its not their fault or GNE CS team too. However they can say sorry and I know they mean it however its the same thing for months and sometimes sorry just isn't good enough we've been through 2 timetable changes since July and this has been an issue since before.
They have just cut the timetables making everything even worse.
