On the 18, got on at Springwell shops, it had 5 people on (including the driver and me so 5 in total), got to Grindon, all got off.

Currently at Pennywell where only 1 more person has got on....

Not sure these changes will help with the services making a profit.. Its early days though.

Edit:

Got off at Southwick with only the bus driver and 1 more person on.
