The peak runs I see most days carry 2-3 at most when I see them coming into Gosforth, certainly in general they seem quieter than when Arriva operated them. Most people along the GNR, Regent Centre, Gosforth High Street will let the X46 go past because it limits their return option - that wasn't an issue when it was Arriva operated. Probably a similar demand from Great Park, but otherwise I'd be very surprised if anyone chose that over anything else on that corridor (even the Q3 is more frequent and, while slower, is more useful given it runs all night too).
