Literally, everything dies off mid afternoon, especially on Christmas Eve, so what is the point of having buses running around carrying fresh air for the majority of the evening wasting money (since they'd have to pay drivers wages etc) when they can pull service earlier in the evening and get everything parked up ready for the next working day.

Sorry but every year you post this same rant - it's getting boring now......

Have to agree, personally I wouldn't be subsidising any boxing day service either. The fact Arriva can't be bothered to even open up and would rather give it to another operator for the day pretty much sums up how much they value it. 

It's not like County Durham falls apart with riots because they don't waste money on it.
