I'd imagine the sort of commuter/business type person with baggage, laptops, suitcases etc would like to not have to move their belongings more than once.It opens up a can of worms I think. If you do it at Heworth for the sake of a handful of passengers a week, then you'd have to do similar elsewhere.
I'd certainly not be keen on Newcastle to London, via about 16 stops.
