When all the workers return to their offices when we are back to normal they are going to no doubt have to find an alternative way to travel home, unless they can all fit on an hourly Versa.
Been big improvements to the trains on the Tyne Valley line going from every 30 minutes with buses running on it to every 20 minutes with trains running it. It's much quicker than the X84/X85 and pretty much serves everywhere on both routes other than Corbridge.
