The past week has been a complete shambles, and if it continues I'll be switching to Stagecoach. Even though they have a few cancellations (especially with the 22 regularly randomly terminating at Walkergate Depot without warning), at least the gap between services is smaller, and the 317 is very reliable even though it takes longer.
I'm not sure how people could deal with this sort of service where Go North East are the only option.
But it was still awful regular 45 mins wait as you would be missing one, the bus after would end up being 15 mins late picking up two loads then went NIS ootherwise it would never make time up, then the one after was cancelled, and then the bus would be like 5 mins late then by the time you got off it was 15 mins late and would go NIS
