(Yesterday, 1:00 am)Rapidsnap wrote Ashington will attract people who either live nearby or car users that live in surrounding areas taking advantage of the park and ride facilities. Seaton Deleval might be the same.

Can't comment on the Ashington side but seems quite a few leisure people are heading up to Delaval station looking on Facebook etc. 

Mind I'm not sure whether it'll last but the few X7's I've seen are struggling as an understatement. 

One passed before at around 2.30pm towards Newcastle with 3 people on which is not normal loadings.

The one earlier on at 9.30am wasn't much better believe that had about 7 people until Seghill where it started picking people up, or there were people waiting at least anyway. 

Always had a feeling that the Seaton Delaval to Blyth bit might struggle a bit as the railway station serves New Hartley aswell really.
