Go North East were running the X66 with what appeared to be 6 vehicles today, opposed to the normal Sunday PVR of 4. Two Streetlites (one at the rally and another one VOR), two Versas and two Scania L94s. I believe there are also earlier and later journeys on the X88? I may be wrong on that one, though.
As I posted in the GNE Latest section earlier, "Whey Aye Five 0" 50A is operated with double deckers (which are probably not as fuel-efficient) on a bank holiday now, too, opposed to the usual branded single deck Scania OmniCitys. Obviously not ideal as the brand identity is lost somewhat, but it's better than leaving people behind or having buses packed to the rafters making an uncomfortable journey...
Apologies
Now I know this is not strictly Bank Holiday, or capacity related, but it does relate to Sunday (and for ANE therefore Bank Holiday
) services, the other week I was in Morpeth and needed to get a 2 to meet a friend in Bedlington, I missed said 2 by seconds as I needed to buy a drink. It was easier for me to get an X18 to Newcastle, then an X22 back to Bedlington than to wait (admittedly the 2 would have got me there minutes later, but I think it's clear to see the length of time etc) for the next 2 which would turn up an hour later, in a cold bus station
