RE: Go North East | Sunday timetables all weekend

If Go North East are making decisions based on previous weeks' data, then clearly an assumption is being made that the 2k difference in expected attendance today is not enough to cause over-loading issues on the 78 today.
We'll find out later - thankfully bustimes enables us to see this!
Not sure that scenario would ever happen - what's the relevance? This thread is an enthusiasts discussion and in this discussion I am drawing a comparison against other operators, who similarly have decreased the frequency of a service, and not upgraded capacity today on a match day. Like Go North East, Stagecoach may have made this decision based on data from previous weeks.
You're suggesting that a multi-million pound operation, are basing their allocation (which could have ramifications going forward), on one previous game?

Can't wait for the Bus Times vidi-printer to kick in to see the result.
Bus times website crashing in the hours before and after the match, with us lot trying to find out what the loadings are like!
