Easter Sunday. Everything is shut (retail wise) by law yet we get a full Sunday service. New Years Day- becoming a big Christmas shopping day and there's generally a home football game on (Sunderland at home this year, Newcastle previous year) - no service at all

Yeah I think a similar Skelton service should be run on Boxing Day and New Years Day. Christmas Day no buses is fine a lot of people generally stay in for a traditional Christmas, but News Years Day is different. I've got work and it is always a home game for one of local sides, shops are open etc. some services should be run.
