As a regular user of the 1 between Rosehill and Newcastle, it'll be interesting to see how the service fares against the 15 minute frequency of the 1. As for me personally, I'll be spoilt as to what bus to get to work. I think it could be a good move, as the 1 is regularly operated by single decker Scania's, and the 7:53, 8:03 and 8:23 1's are usually full by the time I get on it.
Same here, often use it to Newcastle. On the whole it is a very reliable service (something which the 22 isn't at the minute!) so I'll probably stick with that, or possibly just get the first bus that comes. Don't forget the 1 will be a lot quicker though, as it won't serve Wallsend Interchange and there won't be changeovers at Walkergate depot like the 22 will.
