It's been down massively ever since the railway line opened pretty much. Barely anyone on until Avenue Head whenever I've seen them where they start picking up a few people around the Holywell side, then running non stop to Seghill pretty much.
Can't say I'm surprised either, the service has been dire for years. The trains have been crush loads what I've heard after matches aswell for the other side of the coin.
It's noticeable how many people in Seghill are using the 19, in recent times aswell. Guess people are sick of that running whenever it wants if it bothers turning up at all vs the 19 which is pretty much always on time.
