One 7.15am service and considerably slower than the alternatives
I agree. The Newcastle extension seems to exist as a way of reducing dead mileage (much like Hexham's X81) if the service is operated from Riverside.
But who knows, if people either use the service or state a preference for a GNE service to Quorum, then perhaps the service could be improved or a new service introduced.
