I imagine others are like that too. Others, such as commuters will be sold on the nice bonuses.
It would be folly to advertise and offer those nice bonuses, if the aim wasn't to attract punters from the X12, the train or their cars.
Taking the X12 into Newcastle is £2.20 cheaper for me (all zone arriva pas v explorer, at new rates - the differential was smaller until last week!). The 20-25 minute connection isn't a winner, though, except when Durham is going through a snarled up phase, so it's more like 10 minutes!
