It is widely acknowledged that travel patterns will be different to that which was the norm pre Covid

I honestly would be surprised if it's not years before we're back to the current schedules - certainly won't be before 2021 in my opinion. Services will not be able to run at full frequencies as we saw pre-Covid until everyone is able to travel, and even then potentially with office staff working from home there's a good chance places like Cobalt and Quorum won't be anywhere near as busy as before. I think the North East is less at risk of changes as we carry a higher percentage of people who work in hospitals, shops alongside school transport and shoppers but still don't see normal timetables for a long time.
