(22 Sep 2017, 3:34 pm)L469 YVK wrote But for many many years, the 308 has always had a bus after 11.30pm and GNE before 2008 would (I think) run the last one between Newcastle and Whitley Bay. From what I can see on the changes too looking at the outbound journey, the 10.40pm journey is being withdrawn on Sunday nights leaving an hourly service after 10pm. Now that is a sensible decision as not many people use the bus on a Sunday night even if it did make money. But Arriva withdrawing the 11.40pm service even on a Fri/Sat night is wrong.
Are they saving more money by not operating it (and the service TO Newcastle) and closing the depot for the night, than they are making, running it and keeping the depot open for that half hour or so?
