It only ever picks up at Hadrian Park, and never normally picks up anywhere else along the route which is a shame. I'd think more people would use it as it stops right in the centre of Newcastle, rather than Haymarket, but no. It is generally busy between Newcastle and Heworth though!
I think they should withdraw the 58 beyond Newcastle and re-route a 309 or 310 through Hadrian Park instead. Then, I believe service 57 should be increased back to every 15 minutes, as from what I found, service 58 did increase in passenger numbers when the 57 was cut back to every 20 minutes.
