Especially at these off peak times, if you're going to chop services to the bone and offer connections then you have to make sure they work properly.

But clearly management of both Arriva North East and Go North East prefer to chop services down...

Like I said before, I really can't relate to any of this so my views are perhaps in favour of the company officials as I still have a regular service (and always have done) up until about midnight and then again from about 5am. When I've been out and about late at night, I've never really had issues with travelling though... I've been inconvenienced by longer waiting times whilst connecting to other services, but I've still been able to travel one way or another.
