Isn't the 684 fully secured? If its not commercially viable during the daytime, I dont see why it would on an evening or weekend. Is there anything particular on the route that people would use at these times?
For the 74 - given they've axed one in favour of the other, I assume they've kept the variant that is being used? I'm not sure what the folk of Darras Hall or Ponteland in general would find at Kingston Park, that they cannot find in Newcastle itself? There's a Waitrose and a Sainsburys there.

In fairness, the two shops at Ponteland are pretty poor, Sainsbury's in particular, but lets be honest unless your drag them onto it most people living in Darras Hall or Ponteland will be no-where near a bus anyway and that won't ever change hence the absolutely abysmal service.
The X77/X78 do the route anyway and it's only a 5 minute walk for those wanting to go to Kingston Park anyway, a realistic change would be diverting them along Tudor Drive though but like you said there's no point.
