Boxing Day Services 2016
Boxing Day Services 2016
(07 Oct 2016, 8:14 pm)L469 YVK And to top it all off, the Toon will be kicking off at 19:45 this year. Wonder if a close enough Sunday service with additional journeys (that don't usually run on a Sunday evening) will be the pecking order this year?

...and nothing from Arriva (probably!).
I imagine NUFC will foot the bill (with Sky's input) for additional services as they've done previously.
(08 Oct 2016, 7:43 am)L469 YVK GNE could do the X21 route to Bedlington then X22 route to Newcastle from Ashington with a PVR of 2x on an Hourly Service.

Hopefully Arriva will get their act together this year, and put on some sort of service for Northumberland.
Running the X10/11, X18 and X21/22 on a Sunday frequency would probably be enough, with one of Jesmonds 'Great North Road' routes. I know that Ashington run duplicates, or at least an extra X22 at the same time as an X21, after League Cup matches with crowds of around 25000, I don't understand how they then continue to neglect Boxing Day, especially when a league match is on.
(08 Oct 2016, 8:32 am)GX03 SVC Or the X21 route throughout?

Hopefully the Tyneside routes will do well and hopefully in future, we could see some services south of the Tyne. Won't hold my breath though...

Good to see Arriva finally running some services on Boxing Day, even if they are only in Northumberland this year. Will be interesting to see the timetables, and how long the services will run for. Anyone know if all three depots will be running their own routes, or if one depot will be running them all?
