I have seen some tweets from Metro saying there was some issues with Met Rep's this morning and ticket acceptance was on GNE and Stagecoach buses.
I have heard the reason was that GNE who were down to operate a few decided not to come out to play leaving folk stranded - unsure if this is accurate, but if it is, then that is shocking that they have been awarded a contract and then dont bother.
