With Newcastle currently down to play at home on New Years Eve with the typical higher than usual passenger loads on matchday evenings (even when a 3pm kick off), would a skeleton service from after 7pm until 10.30-11pm not be feasible on the following routes?

Arriva:
- 43 - hourly (extended to Blyth via X11 route)
- 45 - hourly and runs clockwise loop
- 308 - hourly
- X21 - hourly to Ashington only
- X18 - hourly to Morpeth only

GNE:
- X1 - hourly
- 21 - half hourly to CLS, hourly to Durham
- 47 - hourly and extended to Consett
- X72 - 2 hourly
- 27 - hourly
- 56 - hourly
- 58 - hourly or every 45 mins
- 6 - 2 hourly
- 10B - hourly
- 311 - hourly
- Q3 - hourly or every 45 mins
- 97 - every 45 mins

Dunno what would maybe work for Stagecoach?

Lol, good luck trying to get the extra drivers in to operate those late services........

Of course it won't happen. It's when the public will want to travel.

Should be thankful you have any services on New Years Day and Boxing Day. Even when Hartlepool and Middlesbrough have home matches on them days buses are completely off no services at all.
