The 777 now also serves a massive purpose to the metro line between Kingston Park & Airport as that section is a frequent faults and nexus always said to use the X77/X78 to the Airport (non of which serviced Kingston Park). This 777 will also help metro people
Likewise. All of the parties involved seem to be heavily promoting it, much more than I have seen with any other BSIP route, and you'd imagine Newcastle Airport are also promoting it to their staff.
As you say, it serves purposes other than simply Morpeth to Newcastle Airport, given it also serves the following employment/education sites as a few examples:
- Kirkley Hall (Northumberland College)
- Newcastle Aviation Academy (Newcastle College)
- Northumbria Police HQ
- Kingston Park Shops (new direct link from Ponteland, and Morpeth)
