Does anyone know or have any idea of when National Express routes will go back to anything near normal?

With a number of bus companies almost going back to pre-covid times this weekend I was wondering whether National Express had any plans of revising their coach services to operate back to something like they were pre covid times.

How busy are National Express services at the moment? I havent been on a National EXpress Coach for a while now hence the query

Buses (in England at least) and railways are being paid by the government to run near normal services, National Express and Megabus have to rely on passenger income so are unlikely to be back to the pre covid timetable until next summer at least.

If the passenger numbers justify it. They cant operate services without the customers even with reduced capacity they are not full. Most people are staying at home. Weekend trippers will only return when night life returns.

They seem to be making quite a few changes to the network - I suspect not just for this period. Halifax and Huddersfield's London overnight service no longer goes via Bradford, Leeds and Nottingham, but now goes via Derby and Leicester with the previous service now terminating at Bradford.
