I think any potential interworking of the 1 and 2 would have to see it operated by both Ashington and Blyth for punctuality, practicality and reliability. 

I don't think Ashington, for example, use any MPD's on a Sunday, whereas Blyth do, the interworking would see the load spread   

(Really hope Tyresmoke likes these suggestions!!)
