I think the service provided by Go North East has been probably one of the worst I have seen on a Boxing Day in several years with no Buses going into South Shields, Durham or Consett.

Services that operated:

X1 - Newcastle to Easington Lane - Operated shorter variation of the service.
10 - Newcastle to Hexham - Operated full route
10A - Newcastle to Rockwood Hill - Operated full route
20 - Sunderland to Hall Lane Estate - Curtailed to part operation
20A - Sunderland to Rainton Bridge - Curtailed to part operation
21 - Newcastle to Chester-Le-Street - Only operating CLS Shorts, No service to Durham via Bus or Train today. Would've thought GNE would've taken advantage of this.
26 - Lukes Lane Estate to Jarrow - What was the point when the nothing else operating in the area
47 - Newcastle to Blackhall Mill - A one on Boxing Day that has always gone to Consett from memory but this year curtailed at Blackhall Mill.
53 - Gateshead to Saltwell Park - Did a half hourly clockwise loop of Gateshead to Saltwell Park only with no service into Newcastle, buses were go straight Bensham Bank back into Gateshead.
62 - Sunderland to Moorside - Operated part route from City Centre to Moorside Estate, surely they could've served Doxford International as no doubt some businesses would've been open.
301 - Newcastle to Metrocentre - Operated part route, Should've interworked this in Newcastle with the 307 to maintain links through to North Shields/Blyth with JH operating the 308.
