Something needs to done to compensate those who ended up forking out or stranded miles from home.
Having used that particular board, I know the types of folks who get it, either from Newcastle or boarding elsewhere en-route.
Dread to think how some of the older folks coming out of Newbottle Club got home - particularly with it being the middle of January and it not being particularly pleasant weather. Certainly can't see many of them having a spare few quid or a debit/credit card handy to pay for a taxi.
They'll have budgeted their drink/bingo money and planned to use their bus pass to get back home.
Wonder if they have twitter or the GNE app on their phones to check the status of the bus? Somehow doubt it...
