- N38 serving normal 308 route but including Battle Hill Drive
- NX11 serving 43 route to Cramlington then X11 route from there to Blyth

Not exactly late as such? Maybe the following services could operate on Fridays / Saturdays):

Board 1:
308 Blyth / Newcastle (23:09/00:05)
N38 Newcastle / Blyth (00:15/01:12)

Board 2:
N38 Blyth / Newcastle (00:09/01:07)
N38 Newcastle / Blyth (01:15/02:12)

Board 3:
X10 Blyth / Newcastle (23:10/00:02)
NX11 Newcastle / Blyth (00:15/01:16)

Board 4:
NX11 Blyth / Newcastle (00:07/01:08)
NX11 Newcastle / Blyth (01:15/02:16)

Nobody uses the late night services. The 2045 Ashington-Newcastle X22 was empty when I saw it arrive in Newcastle, and only picked up a few punters heading back, then one person for the Bedlington short. I can't see Blyth, with more services running at this time (which were dead too), getting services past midnight.
