Absolutely agree. It’s a clear indication to me that, for all the noise, the new management are just as incompetent at those that went before.
The amount of standing load Pulsars and Streetlites I’ve observed leaving Newcastle recently is too many to list.
Getting rid of significantly younger and more capable buses ahead of things which barely make it through a day of service is beyond idiotic.
The current media attention on their operation in SE Northumberland is starting to expose them for the morons they are. I’ve been pointing it out for ages on here - the engineering issues, the horrific decision making, the lack of accountability.
