Today there were only 2 passengers onboard, Friday there were only 3 passenger', id of expected that time in morning to be more onboard. Ive even passed this service several times over past few weeks on A69 heading towards Hexham again with only a 3 or 4 passengers onboard. I hope this service is not just a white elephant as I think its a great service for the north side of tyne. I think these buses look really smart in the orange.
Bus services are generally quiet in the early morning! - I'd guess it would be busier heading into Newcastle later in the day. These services have been busy when I've saw them, during the day
