BUS passengers in Durham are being given the chance to tell one of the region's main operators what they think of its services.

Go North East, whose Go Northern and Wearside subsidiaries run in and around the city, is holding a special surgery tomorrow.

It will be held in one of the company's easy-access buses, which will be parked on Framwelgate Bridge, between 11am and 2pm.

The company is urging passengers to air their views, so it can make improvements to its services.

It is also urging people who do not use buses, particularly those who are disabled, to have a look round the bus to see how the new-style vehicles can make travelling easier for people in wheelchairs, or with pushchairs.

Company representatives will be present to give information, answer questions and listen to comments.

Go North East marketing manager, Yvonne Dixon, said: "This event is part of a series of bus user surgeries we have introduced to help gain customer feedback.

"We are committed to providing the best bus service possible for local communities and can only do this by obtaining and acting upon customer demand and feedback."
