As you say, it serves purposes other than simply Morpeth to Newcastle Airport, given it also serves the following employment/education sites as a few examples:
- Kirkley Hall (Northumberland College)
- Newcastle Aviation Academy (Newcastle College)
- Northumbria Police HQ
- Kingston Park Shops (new direct link from Ponteland, and Morpeth)
I remember when the 42A was cut from the airport. A lot of people I knew who used it were not happy and had to travel into town or Regent Centre to get a bus
In my honest opinion. It wouldn't shock me March throws up more links to the airport. Biggest by far is the 44 & 45 as they ain't far from it.
