The title says Boxing Day 214

It would be logical to run the 002 Boxing day but looking at the list of services I would guess that as at NXWM Boxing day working is voluntary it may be a struggle to cover shifts if running a commercial service as well as the tendered ones.
it's been a while....

Possibly, but still strange given they're putting extra effort in late night journeys for Christmas shopping , would have thought they'd run something Boxing day for the same reason
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....

But we don't know how successful the latest have been.
If they have been a complete waste of time.  Then diamond would quite rightly assume boxing day would be no better.
