They should do more leaflet drops, they could have did it past Murton or even Seaham with connections for the 65 and 62 for the X1 As loads didn't even know what the X1 was. 

They should have did it with fares. I know it is added expense but I can imagine it brings customers to GNE because the fares are quite cheap, £4 for a Sunderland Day Ticket, probs cheaper than Petrol. Some people now are struggling so much they are sleeping in the car park of their jobs.
