If you go and chat with the supervisors at Ashington, they've had numerous complaints from Arriva drivers saying that the behaviour of GNE drivers is appalling. One driver said that the GNE bus pulled in behind him (Stand A) and flashed his lights then when the X22 signalled to leave the GNE bus pulled in front of him to block him. The same happened today involving both X21/X22 buses. It's happened many times and is getting silly now.
