Even worse today, 14 trips cancelled across the day (or 23% of the total service). 

0600 Ashington to Newcastle (first train of the day)
1046 Newcastle to Ashington
1130 Ashington to Newcastle
1417 Newcastle to Ashington
1459 Ashington to Newcastle
1511 Newcastle to Ashington
1600 Ashington to Newcastle
1646 Newcastle to Ashington
1730 Ashington to Newcastle
1749 Newcastle to Ashington
1830 Ashington to Newcastle
1917 Newcastle to Ashington
2015 Newcastle to Ashington
2130 Ashington to Newcastle

Northern really aren't giving the potential passengers of this the best impression of the service, if this line had been opened in the south I feel like they'd have moved heaven and earth to ensure there were minimal trips cancelled in the first week.
