Not aware of anyone around here who would go to Blyth for drinking either or the cinema, arguably later 19 journeys would be better, possibly by using part of the money from the absolutely pointless North Shields extension on the 57A especially since the whole of East Cramlington has no bus service at night and would give Seghill a Metro link all day.
I sampled the last 23:13 X7 to Seghill again tonight, and there was the grand total of... 3 of us on, with the other passengers getting off at Amersham Road and South Beach respectively. The driver pointed out he was my personal taxi and that he was close behind the 57a once you get to Delaval. As I said to the driver, (so far) it seems a bit dumb to subside such a run as it stands, especially when the money could be better used elsewhere, including as you say a earlier Sunday X7 run to Newcastle. I'll try it again in a while to see if it pics up.
