There are also some passengers using it from Corner House / Chillingham Road / Benfield Road to stops beyond Hadrian Lodge / Station Road.
Aye that's fair enough whenever I used to be the only one who ever got on as it was always non stop.
On the subject of the X46 I don't get don't just run a short route from Hollywood Avenue to Great Park via Regent Centre every 30 minutes with through tickets available on the Metro and/or Great North Buses to Gosforth only.
It arguably would offer a better service than an hourly token service.
