Yeah same, just not sure where the money is coming from personally. Must admit I've never seen them but I can imagine the past peak journeys or so journeys heading towards Sunderland in the morning / towards Newcastle in the evening being completely dead aswell. Suppose the trains being on strike recently might have helped it out since there's no other way between Newcastle and Sunderland other than a detour on the 56. Surprised it's lasted as long and similar routes with pretty much every operator have been getting the cull lately. Cityzap being a noticeable similar one between York and Leeds and now the whole Coastliner between Whitby and Malton which is in trouble.
I always use the X24 on a Saturday, and from what 've seen its been packed towards Newcastle and the last bus from Newcastle, has been packed - with only few seats left - and its normally deckers allocated on a Saturday.
Stagecoach seem to be giving it a good run.
