Thanks to Daniel for the defence.
In monetary and service terms, I do think an hourly service is enough. I've lived in area for a long time (Beamish) that has an equally poor, if not worse, service than Kibblesworth but there's a reason for that. Beamish has a tiny population. I'm moving shortly to Low Fell which has 7 times the population of Kibblesworth and 9 times that of Beamish so it has a much better service.
Kibblesworth has a population of around 1110 (last Census)
It has a better service than Ouston which has a larger population than Kibblesworth and is frankly lucky to be near large areas such as Low Fell, Birtley and the Team Valley to even get an hourly service. There are villages and towns of larger sizes which have worse services by far.
I do use the 28A regularly at peak and off and the loadings are dismal in Kibblesworth, 2-3 people at most, less when the kids are off
It may be frustrating for you to have a perceived poor service, but you don't for your population. The last bus to Kibblesworth tonight from Newcastle is 22.48. The first on a morning is 6.39 (with a connection in Low Fell to the 21) you then have a half hourly bus to Gateshead. If Kibblesworth had been in Durham you'd be walking everywhere
