Be interesting if there's many people who use them purely within Newcastle Council as I can't imagine there's much demand from the Regent Centre to Newcastle, in particular, unless you've lost the plot or hate the Metro for some bizarre reason.

Why wouldn't there be?

The bus is quicker, more frequent, and cheaper than the Metro between those two points. The bus is also significantly more reliable at present - arguably between those two locations travelling on the Metro would be the questionable choice.

Once again, I implore you to actually go and look at the strength of these corridors before writing them off. As someone who sees this specific corridor on a daily basis, there is a consistently decent demand from Regent Centre to Newcastle.
