(Yesterday, 3:41 pm)Storx wrote 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.
Every bus I've been on this week seems quieter than normal. Assuming that uni students on holiday and probably a lot of workers starting their Christmas holidays early has a lot to do with that. Probably best to wait until mid-January before trying to work out if the x7 etc has been hit by the train.
