How lucky for GNE they have encountered no delays, road closures etc!
Lack of updates on socials and websites from the big 3 is awful though.
Northstar have done a good job though! Well done!
Don't forget that under the North East BSIP, we should have had a single dedicated website by now!

Journey planner website and app
Current offer
Bus operators, Nexus and Durham County Council all have their own journey planning tools which provide varying levels of information, they are either specific to one mode or don’t cover the whole region. Websites such as Google or CityMapper can provide journey planning for the whole region however they don’t always contain real time information.
Headline targets to 2025
We will introduce a single dedicated website and journey planner by March 2025. Based on feedback received this tool will provide a minimum of the following:
• A public transport journey planning tool including active travel options, highlighting time, cost, and convenience advantages.
• Real time public transport information, including planned and unplanned disruption.
• Retailing for bus and multi-modal ticket products.
Since our BSIP award we have been developing the technical specification and have appointed Nexus as the lead delivery partner.
For residents who cannot access journey information digitally, we remain committed to maintaining and improving printed information at bus stops across our network, ensuring we are providing accessible and convenient information for everyone.
I wonder how they're getting on....
