They’re done that a few times now. Shouldn’t be terminating a bus early just because of a clean air zone fine. I thought stagecoach were bad but go north east seem to be getting worse every day.

Please email the DVSA's intelligence unit regarding a deliberate failure to operate a registered service in full, a formal (and still anonymous) paper trail works better than forum posts!

At least Stagecoach were paying the fine and still sending buses through town regardless of the CAZ. I think this is also why some people misunderstand the rules of the CAZ, GNE terminate non compliant buses instead of paying a fine, making it seem to the un-trained eye that the bus is fully restricted from town; which most of us know isn't the case. I've had an argument with someone plenty of times because they can't seem to understand that under Euro 5 buses are allowed in the City Centre as long as they pay a charge.

Bustimes (usual caveats) shows it happening all day yesterday. Vehicle 5368.

That's bag to rights. I'd genuinely inform the traffic commissioner.

The CAZ is not a vehicle ban. There is no good reason why it shouldn't run to Newcastle.

This is typical of the poor service being provided by Washington. On Wednesday morning all 3 vehicles missing from the 34 resulting in no service on that route. 
While Go North East have awarded Washington as their depot of the year 2024. Sorry but that award is insulting to all of Washington customers.
