Every time I've seen the service past Bolden there's only 1 or 2 passengers on it.
And now with 3 Stagecoach X34s a hour with newer E400s and Wifi compared to 1 Tatty non Wifi Scania on GNE between Bolden and Newcastle City Centre -
The majority of passengers will prefer the X34 for the features stated above.
Most of the times between Sunderland City Centre and Downhill, The passenger numbers are equal to the 99 which again is pretty dire.
Some say it does well, others say it doesn't. My observations are it's pretty quiet really.
