There is however a failure to acknowledge past mistakes, and running a half-hourly X1 getting folk to/from the Newcastle match, will be one of those mistakes.
The sensible option would be to run some football specials, taking the strain off of the regular services, but we don't seem to do 'out of the box thinking'
I'm sure I read somewhere the X50 would be running this year because of the match. Although, wasn't there a match last Boxing Day, and the services managed fine?
Surprised the X18 isn't running this year, and I don't know if the X66 is or not.
Presumably Stagecoach will be running their 7, 11, 30, 39/40 (40 curtailed at Walker), X47 and X88 as usual and the 308 contract? This means Great Park will have a service presumably, unlike when the Q3 went there?
