While he agreed there would likely be some demand, he was wary of the potential impact it would have on the 57/57a as it would likely abstract away shoppers going to Cramlington to Killingworth instead. A potential example of the Butterfly effect I guess.
Yeah it's probably a valid point though tbf, it'll be mostly pensioners using it and they're pretty much the ones using it to Cramlington most the time really.

Where from Seaton Valley? If so, not really tbh. Nothing at Wallsend for us really, the locals are more likely to choose Cramlington, Whitley Bay, Blyth, Monkseaton Sainsbury's or Newcastle which would be closer and have more there (no offence to Wallsend) and we have the 57 to the Metro then Metro from there which would be likely as quick anyway. NT Hospital is the big one though from pensioners and taking the 363/X4/X7 off Tillmouth Avenue.
