Rail and air travel is also likely to take a hit due to decreased patronage and cancellations.
I have a feeling Weardale isn't going to last much longer. From what I heard they lost quite a bit of income with GNE no longer using the Crook depot, and they lost out on quite a number of school contracts this year.
If they have to start cancelling their holidays they'll be a bit buggered
