Christmas & bank holidays

- Christmas Eve — Thursday, 24 December 2026 The operator’s data lists more buses on this date than on an ordinary Thursday (103 journeys, against 49), 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 (103 journeys, against 49), which usually means two timetables have been added together by mistake. Check with Go North East before you travel.
