I think it's Go North East's Q2 that I've heard drivers complaining about. As soon as you arrive into Haymarket, you're back out again trying to make up time... A never-ending cycle.

We've seen operators review punctuality issues by increasing layover time and interworking two services (recent example being GNE's X35/X36) and other changes which often mean that the PVR of a service goes up by one. Can't recall the last time I saw a Nexus contract change so that timings were made more manageable and the PVR increased by one? More expensive for Nexus, but would ensure customer satisfaction is maintained...

Unless you can come up with an example or two, it seems operators who agree to these contracts are seeing falling profit levels and trying to maintain customer satisfaction, but the parties behind the contracts aren't doing their bit...!

I will hold my hands up and say that I don't have a clue with regard to amended timetables on the Nexus contracts.
The example I was referring to earlier that was ANE operated, works to the same GNE timetable during the day though and seems to manage fine.

If come the next round of contracts, Nexus are left holding a load of unsigned terms & conditions, then the operators have obviously decided there isn't enough money in it for them.
However, with the independents seemingly keen for more contracts on top of what they have already (GCT, Pheonix to name just two) and the likes of Kingsleys getting on board - money is there to be made and is being made...

Or, on the flip side - contracts are being signed as some sort of loss leader.
Not sure what the benefits would be under Nexus provision, but it may be a possibility.
