There always seems to be better loadings than the North Shields-Northumberland Park section, and the Cramlington-Ashington section.
I used it on Saturday from Cramlington to Northumberland Park, and the 15:05 departure was very busy.
Could always cut the service between Ashington and Cramlington and use the buses for the new suggestion, although that leaves Ashington with Arriva's extremely bad service.
