(24 Aug 2023, 3:37 pm)R852 PRG A little bird tells me that someone in the employ of Go North East might have made a strong impression on the judging panel.

Has our very own Daniel given a sneaky peak of his outfit to a certain member of the judging panel?

I've no idea what that means, but I'm sure it involves a short-sleeve shirt, talcum powder and brut.

And our very own Daniel's special outfit.

Surely not the one that Ray starred in, back in 1997?

I’ve never wanted to gouge my eyes out as much as I have.

The PR own goals continue…have they seen their own cancellation list?

It was renamed when the Martijn was here, nothing to do with current management.

I think you've got a point a lot of the time, but I'm a bit lost with this one? 

They're taking over, but effectively creating a brand new network in North Tyneside, which happens to coincide with the North Shields bus station being opened. What better opportunity to talk to prospective customers, encourage them to give the bus a try, when you've got a constant footfall of people seeing what is going on? 

They've had all sorts of live entertainment on yesterday, which appears to have drawn crowds in. Nice bit of publicity for GNE really, for the cost of having some staff there for a couple hours and giving away some merchandise (that's probably been sat gathering dust).

I could understand people questioning the (lack of) PR, if they hadn't bothered, but I'd actually say this is a lot better use of time and resources than having a couple of buses sat in an empty field, whilst volunteers can chat to their mates.

Your guide to appearing more successful than you are for less than £4,250:

- Nominate yourself for an award, then announce how surprised you are that you have been nominated for that award.

Price: £0

- Pay for a table at that awards ceremony to guarantee a trophy of some sort and to gather important evidence of you being there.

Price: £2000 

- Keep the authority coming by paying for another crystal trophy and a JPEG that says you are the “Best X” in your region. SME News is good for this (not affiliated). You are now “multi-award winning”.

Price: £495

- Pay for a photoshoot where you pretend to be on the phone or staring into the horizon planning your next big move. Successful people do this often.

Price: £500

- Pay for a feature in a leading publication so you can add “featured in” onto your website to demonstrate superiority.

Price: £750

- Pay for a VIP ticket to see someone like Gary V or Steven Bartlett and have someone take a photo where it looks like they’re listening intently to your wisdom and not because it’s their job to placate you.

Price: £500 

Total cost: £4,245
Total opportunities: Limitless 

Follow this template and you too can achieve internet wantrepreneur status in just 90 days.


You’re welcome.

Almost a toss up between this thread and the 'what has amused you today' thread.

It amused me. But probably more relevant to this one.

I think I speak for everyone In this forum that it is such a shame that GNE did not win a Route One Award, nor even made it to the finalists https://routeoneawards.com/finalists/ such a shame for such a premium operator who has cut services, awful, aging fleet with rock hard seats, managment and office staff for weeks have been 200 miles away in Manchester, no customer service or social media support and to top it all of a strike which is going to last about 14 weeks.

If that isn't what I takes, I don't know what more they can do

The McGill's for best customer experience is as baffling as GNE being nominated for best advert. They've literally just dropped out of a whole town and blamed everyone under the sun bar thereselves and are currently going on a rant about public bus services with Lothian.

It's almost as if there's a certain MD there they just needed to include.

They should rename it to the Hall of Shame award just to make it more accurate.

There is no Hall of Fame award. There is a hall of fame for previous winners, for which a Go North East award from 2017 is used as the landing photo
