Exactly... Goes without saying that it's not going to operate on Boxing Day when the running costs are considerably higher!
Arriva, as I have expressed in the past elsewhere on the forum, have no excuse for not running a limited skeleton service on their most profitable routes, like Go North East do in other parts of the region.
