That has crossed my mind too.
Obviously there’ll be many who had no alternative & will be desperate to get back on board to travel to wherever they need to get to, but 12 weeks is more than long enough for people to have formed new habits and adapted to alternatives where possible.
Hugely damaging to our public transport.
Especially in a period where we needed stability & reliability to gain a degree of trust in public transport so that those using private transport would consider the switch during the upcoming Tyne Bridge lane closures when road capacity will be reduced.
