Quick question here,
Wouldn't it not be eaiser for the 74A/X84 to be operated by Saltmeadows on a Sunday/evening (74). It would allow for a more regular service, with both services being every two hours, and a later/earlier service to Hexham to connect with the AD122, using two of the dual door renowns?
Here is an example timetable:
74A 0820 Newcastle to Matfen 0913
74A 0917 Matfen to Newcastle 1013
74A 1020 Newcastle to Maften 1113
74A 1117 Matfen to Newcastle 1213
74A 1220 Newcastle to Matfen 1313
