Wonder if any coach operators will be cashing in as I've known of one person who's used a coach from Bedlington on a normal match day.
Could Arriva have not just registered 'drop off' only specials after Haymarket and forced passengers to pre-book with different prices with no regular concessions excluding slightly discounted fares with no refunds given unless exceptional circumstances or seat could be given to next person if there was a waiting list depending on the number of specials put on.
Henry Cooper run match day services from places like Newbiggin, Ashington etc to St James Park.
