I wonder how many people let it go, because it doesn't stop at Gateshead?
Similarly, I bet there is a proportion of people who would get it home from the town, but won't go out of their way, when they can wait for a frequent 27.
Valid point about growing patronage. Just look at the 73 for a bad example of that. Everyone who has argued for a bus service stuck together in one ridiculous route that goes nowhere fast.
