The first one of the new year is on the 21st & 22nd of January between Airport & South Gosforth & South Gosforth to Four Lane Ends. A 900 will run between Airport & Four Lane Ends serving South Gosforth

The timetable was unrealistic today and they knew the football was on so there's no excuses. Not sure how busy they were either but only having a 15 minute service before and after the game is stupid aswell.
