My memory doesn't go that far back and I have no idea whether it was a full or part route, but will see if I can do some digging.
I remember way back when the buses in Newcastle on Christmas Day were basically services serving hospitals to allow people without their own transport to visit relatives. Think of the old "Inner Line" 41 sort of thing.
