(21 Jan 2022, 11:05 am)Adrian wrote Haven't seen any Washington and Deptford cancellations posted for a couple of days now, but I notice that the Sunday timetables are still down as being applicable on a Saturday for services out of those depots.
I wonder if we're expecting a sudden spike of sickness over the weekend, or whether we'll start to see normal service resume?
n.b. most cancellations today are for Consett and Riverside. Although Consett are running a Sunday timetable on some services, Riverside are sticking with a normal Saturday timetable as far as I can see.
Could imagine it will be harder to fill gaps with overtime on a weekend. Mon - Fri it's easier, Saturday people tend to be busier ie at the football in either Sunderland or Newcastle and they won't be working.
Be interesting to see if there's a flip with the depots who are generally Sunderland supporters being worse than the Newcastle depots this weekend since it's the first time Newcastle haven't been playing at home for a few weeks.
Edit: It's scheduled to go back to normal from the 30/01/2022 see https://www.nexus.org.uk/bus/timetables?tid=All - Under the 9, 20 etc.
