*including GNE and.

It's almost as if winter is a new thing, whilst there is likely to be more issues in colder temperatures, I have no memory of it ever being as bad as things have gotten in the last week or so at GNE.

I had a look at Arriva's tracking in some parts of the North East and there was nowhere near the level of cancellations which GNE seem to be blighted by and even half of those I suspect are actually from a lack of driving staff rather than bus availability.
