Once these workers drive a vehicle its very hard to get them off.

Here is just a few examples

How do you start a job at 4am in Team Valley but get to it from

Sunderland
Newcastle
Whitley Bay
Gosforth
Washington

It's very hard and challenging  balance but I do think and I would be quite happy to see fully subsided night bus operating in an hourly service around an area. Sure PTE did this in the 80s... remember seeing a timetable which I think was a fair reflection to cover as much as possible

Think it was to coincide with shipyard and pit workers

In fairness it's hard to get to Team Valley from all those places during the day nevermind in the evening. It would involve getting to Gateshead somehow which if your away from the Metro isn't the easiest or changing somewhere inappropriate (waiting wise) like Wrekenton.
