Shame its not Sunderland depot, could have been some good rare and odd opportunities.

Sunderland did run the E2 and E6 on boxing day a few years back but Shields depot have always opened and operated the remainder including the 'Other Operators Serices' when GNE had their boxing day shutdowns. Never happens now though.
