I think now in the 21st century to the majority of businesses bank Holidays are normal days.

Yes it would benefit a few people especially me if I get the move I want however looking at Hartlepool as an example how many people would really use the 7 on Christmas Day to get from Owton Manor to the Headland or the 6 from Clavering to the Fens.  It would be the drivers giving up Christmas Day driving empty buses with maybe one or two people on every second journey. I want better evening services and services in total but Christmas Day would be a complete waste. I would think it be no different in Newcastle either even using a limited amount of single deckers how many people realistically would be wanting to use the bus to get from Wallsend to Walker or where ever very few would use it.    
I do agree a limited service on Boxing Day might work though but they still unlikely to be many people using it then either.
