Does the 19 even get decent passengers?, not from the area so not sure, i think they'll stick to Omni's.

Not sure how much of that is true, if they plan to inter-work the services, i don't think it'll work.

No reason why the 17 couldn't extend to Ashington? I've heard rumours about changes too, but not sure whether any of it is true.

Forgive me here but who/what/where/when have you heard this? It appears that a couple of posts made by yourself hold information which has no source attatched to it. Makes me (at least) feel as if you are just making it up to generate some discussion.

The 17 is long enough already... although people won't do the full route and it will bring new links etc, it'll require a extra bus on the route - that might not be a problem though, to me it seems unlikely.

People have been saying it will be going hourly (doubt it), and mentioned that it would be going to Ashington too. 

I can't see much happening though, as it was only changed recently.

The Cobalt Connect isn't due for a rebrand for at least two years? It would have been January when I saw a poster in Asda advertising "Your Cobalt Connect bus has arrived" with info on the service etc...

5243-5246 were repainted in November 2012 and were latterly branded in April 2013 for the 19, so therefore they would be due another repaint in 2016, nothing wrong with repainting them a year early if the Cobalt Connect is receive New Vehicles as part of the 2015/16 Vehicle Order.

I did the 19 in 2013 and that's the Ashington-Cramlington figures. The 19 usually arrives with two or three people in Ashington.

Every time I see it, there are at least 8 people on board. I've seen upwards of 15 on quite a bit, in the middle of the day, more than that at peak times...

Not every journey is going to be packed from Ashington, there are a hell of a lot of stops between there and Cramlington, for it to pick up passengers. Additionally, most of those I see onboard look like they'd be fare paying passengers, not a great deal of OAP's.
