I reckon the direct link to Newcastle on the Q1/Q2 accounts for some of that growth, as passengers are no longer changing at Gateshead.
Just random figures like.
Then: 20 people travel to Gateshead on the 51.
5 people get on the Q1 at Gateshead.
Now: 25 people on one service
Then there may be that additional growth you mention.
