You say it doesn't offer many connecting GNE services, but that's assuming the people are travelling towards Hexham as their initial journey.
If they're on their return journey, then they have had connecting GNE services to just about anywhere they could want from Eldon Square.
Of course you would have a GNE ticket as the X21 is your local service. A 3 minute wait is amazing.
Northumberland County Council could connect the 684/74 as they fund both services and they run either side of Fenham, Hexham and I'm sure other places along the route.
The more connections the better. Although there are too many Stagecoach routes in Fenham/Denton Burn/West Denton. Hopefully the 684 will continue to exist in the long term, but I doubt it will.
