Despite this, the first two or three complaints would have done - there isn't a great need to continue rambling on about the same old thing each and every day.
In fact, Go North East know that there are issues with the "South Tyne" branded Cadets - particularly those which are based at Saltmeadows. It is for this reason why they are to be withdrawn early this year, rather than next, all being well. We have speculated as to which buses may replace them in the 2014 Order Predictions thread - one suggestion being the Volvo B7RLE vehicles currently at Riverside which are branded "Toon Link".
Does the 5 even need buses the size of those B7s or even a cadet or could a MPD manage the haul it gets? I would say it is a minor route so wouldn't need that many seats. But if GNE know that there are problems with those 5 cadets (the number of them not the service
), why cant they have a extra close look at them and then see what can be done to get them fixed, rather than just leaving them. Of course they are going through a busy period with repainting buses etc. but surely maintaining the welfare of buses is more important.
