North of the Tyne, and I'm surprised they're not providing services from the likes of Tynemouth, Blyth, Morpeth, Ashington, etc, for the Newcastle match? Not to mention the huge shopping day that it is for intu Eldon Square & Metrocentre?
On boxing day?
IIRC, Durham and the Arnison centre were pretty much shut on Boxing day, last year. Tesceurgh and Dragonville open, but few people travel there by bus, anyhow. No idea about Darlo or Teesside. I think we've been to Boro on Boxing day, before - or it might have been the day after. (It was the day we nearly got snarled up in a pile up because there was hail and snow and the various authorities were scrimping on gritting the A19 at the county boundaries and someone lost control turning out at Elwick.)
Agree that the North of Tyne services would probably be more commercially viable.
