A lot of the money that would have funded 30 minute evening services has been redirected to fund daytime services (eg 28/29, 67/69, 82/82A) and early morning and evening services that GNE used to operate commercially but are now funded by Nexus.
Out of curiosity what percentage of Go North East Services are now operated under financial support compared to that of which are ran commercially?
