So you might have 15 people heading towards Newcastle; there's going to be no-one going in the opposite direction and the opposite later on. There's also very little in between on both aswell. So you won't have many short hop fares.Is that not the case with quite a number of services, though? It's quite common to be busy towards Newcastle in the morning and busy coming out of Newcastle in the afternoon. I suppose the issue would be whether the busy journeys would balance out the cost of the quiet ones, but as I say other services do seem to survive with that kind of similar passenger pattern.
Monday to Friday you have the X24A taking people to Doxford Park and the X34 taking people to work in the Boldon Colliery area.
