(29 Dec 2020, 7:11 pm)big mac wrote I am posting this thread as I'm curious about how Go North East and other north east bus operators have operated bus services in the Christmas and New Year period.

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?

For many years a Sunday service operated on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day. I can't remember when this stopped and the very limited service was introduced. In my opinion there should be a better service on those days than we have now.
