Christmas & bank holidays
These dates are not the usual timetable for the day they fall on. They come from the operator’s published data, which for Christmas and New Year is often late or incomplete, so check with Go North East before you travel. Everything above is an ordinary week.
Not published yet: Christmas Day, Boxing Day, 28 December and New Year's Day. Operators often publish festive timetables only a few weeks ahead, so check again nearer the date.
- Christmas Eve — Thursday, 24 December 2026 The operator’s data lists more buses on this date than on an ordinary Thursday (36 journeys in both directions together, against 24), which usually means two timetables have been added together by mistake. Check with Go North East before you travel.
- New Year's Eve — Thursday, 31 December 2026 The operator’s data lists more buses on this date than on an ordinary Thursday (36 journeys in both directions together, against 24), which usually means two timetables have been added together by mistake. Check with Go North East before you travel.
