The problem with the football matches isn't the buses. It's the fact the matches are being played at stupid o'clock in the first place.

Imo there should be zero bus service on Boxing Day, unless the operators want to run it. It's a waste of tax payers money and there won't be mass riots in County Durham or Teesside tomorrow.

No doubt GNE would suddenly find a way to run some aswell, if the begging bowl was shut.
