I dont understand why they cant put a bus on to Murton, even if it was only to one per hour, it would only need one vehicle to run it, quite a few Corridors in County Durham gets a service on Service on Boxing Day(Chester, Durham, Stanley and Consett), why not Murton, it makes sense to me, I have heard people grumble about it for years now.

With how commercial Christmas has become now, I am surprised that Boxing Day services arent run on a Bank Holiday schedule, the last few years I have been to Sunderland or Newcastle and there seems to be the same numbers out as a Sunday and Bank Holiday as there is always a game of football somewhere
