I think GNE deserve a bit of credit here - it would've been easy to just keep running basically nothing and while others are right this won't help workers, it will massively help some of the most vulnerable, socially isolated who rely on public transport to get to a bit of basic human engagement. Yes it's not much but this does come across to me as the first decent thing GNE have done in this sorry debacle.
I agree if they ran services that are not connected to anything. The massive one being the X1. At least run it to Houghton from Gateshead
