Granted there's going to be some demand, but I'd hazard a guess that passengers are wanting to be at one of the two Universities (maybe even the College). The Civic Centre is a popular destination too as is SJP when there's a match on. You've then got those punters who are looking to change buses at either Haymarket or Eldon Square.

A message on the on board announcement even as it came along Sandyford Road would surely eliminate any confusion

Northumbria students use Civic Centre, Newcastle students use St Marys Place as it’s closer, the main entry being on Barras Bridge.
