Not everyone wants to go to Newcastle and if you drive to Washington / work then why bother using the bus at all.What were the loads like between Langley Park and Sacriston for journeys to Newcastle?
People from the Waldridge Rd area are more likely to use the train as it's much quicker and is on their doorstep (around 200k people use it a year) and was often crush loads at peak times pre Covid.
