Carried very few on the Birtley Circular. Don't know if its still like that now as it was a couple of years ago when i was on it. Well, i was on it when they had Solo YJ61 JHV from Connect.
It tends to be busy on the Washington-Springwell stretch and on a morning it is quite busy from Barley Mow-Birtley. The 23 went downhill as soon as Classic took it off.
