Possibly a combination of a now hourly service, both Newcastle & Middlesbrough playing at home and the trains being off along the coast.
However there were ticket machine issues (one of 6099 or 6100 - they were both on, but my reliable source is unsure which had the issue).
These ticket machine issues meant that there were free journies galore and inaccurate loading data.
Whilst it probably gets away with being hourly on a weekday at the moment, it could do with being half-hourly on a Saturday.

It's not, but the bus is very unlikely to have been over capacity. It's more likely that customers have opted to ignore the safety advice, and there's very little a driver can do to police that on a limited stop service, which is predominantly running on the A19.
