Nights in Newcastle do fluctuate, sometimes the peak of it ends earlier which will fill up the last buses, but most of the time the peak ends later meaning that taxis handle it.
Some later bus departures might cut down on the amount of taxi drivers driving like dickheads up the Spine Road...
Ah I didn't mean Newcastle there, I just meant the buses. Newcastle was quite quiet last night tbf but I've never seen Haymarket so busy. It's usually only 10 - 15 people on them whenever I've used it in the past.
Agreed with the taxis though around 3am but tbh I could imagine a lot of them will refuse to use the bus anyway for whatever reason.
