So as long as the service is identifiable to people who might use the service to travel from Otterburn, Elsdon, Belsay, or any other village it may serve nowadays, into Newcastle; has enough seats to carry those passengers; and continues to receive subsidy from Northumberland County Council, it will continue to run.
I agree, just frustrating for any intending passenger to miss the service because it wasn't particularly identifiable. The service is the cheapest into Newcastle at just £1, and having missed the bus I had to pay £4.10 on GNE and was too late into Newcastle so it was a waste. More passengers the better surely? For clarity other passengers, in Fenham, use the service not just me.
An old timetable for the 74 would be great if possible.
