For example
Has there ever been any services that have ran on Christmas Day or New Years Day?
When did the limited Boxing Day service come in?  I can remember when there wasn't any Boxing Day services a couple of decades ago.
Have the buses always knocked off between 6 and 7 on Christmas Eve and NYE?
Has it always been a Saturday service on the weekdays in between Christmas and Year?

I think there was a very limited Christmas Day service back in the PTE days. Remember hearing stories of people getting the bus to their families in South Shields on Christmas day.
