Isn't the 684 fully secured? If its not commercially viable during the daytime, I dont see why it would on an evening or weekend. Is there anything particular on the route that people would use at these times?
For the 74 - given they've axed one in favour of the other, I assume they've kept the variant that is being used? I'm not sure what the folk of Darras Hall or Ponteland in general would find at Kingston Park, that they cannot find in Newcastle itself? There's a Waitrose and a Sainsburys there.
I'm proposing GNE run multiple long distance services to/from Newton Aycliffe to the likes of York, Leeds, Sheffield, Manchester etc seem as we're suggesting stuff that offers little benefit to anyone and be commercial suicide
Seriously though, think 684 is at least partially funded (unsure if the Newcastle end is) and unsure why on earth the 74 would justify Versas when it doesn't even fill a Solo.
Is there anything with an X prefix that's actually an express these days in fairness?
