I think the Northumberland Coast routes offered by Arriva are appalling - Maybe GNE could start a couple of new routes up there, operated by Percy Main? Could try some competitive fares like on the Tynedalexpress services as the fares with Arriva are expensive (e.g Morpeth to Newcastle is £5.00 for a adult).
