(23 Oct 2015, 4:53 pm)R852 PRG wrote I don't think it could be justified; both Go North East and Arriva operate services from Newcastle to Durham, and Arriva link Durham and Darlington with their ''Sapphire'' 7 service. For example, Go North East's 21 operates at a frequency of every 15 minutes Mondays-Saturdays, and Arriva's 7 operates at the same frequency. Passengers wouldn't be waiting long between connections.
You also have to consider the train; which, while more expensive, links Newcastle and Darlington in about a third of the time that the bus would. I can't see it working.
There is everyone in between though
