Aye can't argue about that, tbh it's one of those things which should be subsidised / franchised imo but we sadly don't have the money to do it - can't see them ever being viable otherwise.
They'd need inter working tickets with the Metro aswell as that's where the real punters is. If you work beyond 12am it's pretty much tough luck nowadays really yet they want everyone to stop using cars. Something has to give.
It's poor that areas like the West End and Byker, Wallsend etc can't sustain a night bus though, similar with the Great North Road via Jesmond.
