I just ask because of the reduction in the amount of Night services since they were first introduced. The N58 and N97 no longer operate, the N56 now only operates on early Sunday mornings, yet the N20 remains in operation on both Saturday and Sunday mornings.
I don't know I've never been on a NightBus service before, I never really needed them as by the time you pay the cash only fare and then get a taxi to my house its easier and probably cost effective to just taxi from A to B.
But I imagine if it wasn't cost effective they rearrange the timings and just have a longer layover at Durham or Newcastle and or interwork with the N56. But I don't know either way. How many people from can there be from Carville, Belmont and Gilesgate to use the service? I don't know. Although a higher PVR (2 for the N56 I believe) will I thought contribute to how cost effective the service gets and with the N20 slotting in nicely with the N21 will I suppose make it more justifiable.
