Bank Holiday Services
For what it's worth, I'd love the North East to embrace "special" timetables. Something like Saturday running times, or Saturday frequencies with a Sunday start/finish.
But there is a price to pay for that sort of thing. Not only in terms of money but more importantly industrial relations. Especially if it's in black and white between a company and the union that Bank Hols are voluntary. That needs to be acknowledged and cannot be swept under the carpet. You only need to look at what happens when you poke the bear of Sunday working on the Railway to see how messy it could get without tough negotiations which could go on for months or years.
