(07 Feb 2016, 3:16 pm)Adrian I've never used the 82/82A on that section during the day. I've used it early morning and GNE evening runs, and it's not uncommon for me to be the only person sat on it between Birtley and Rickleton.
If it's generally well used during the day, it surprises me that Arriva haven't capitalised on the evening runs they already have secured? It'd provide a nice little local link to their X12, and also allow them to offer some form of day ticket. They've had a good 4 year or so to do it, and still nothing though.
The evening journeys that Arriva run don't do that well, some take roughly £30, others will take no more than £2.
