Someone got on at the airport to Ponteland (£1.50 I think), After that, non stop to Jedburgh, arriving around 10:00. Bus and driver then did a 20 to Kelso, a different Enviro 200 did the next Newcastle.
By the way I took a 68 Borders Bus Jedburgh to Galashiels for £7.05 !!!!! after the X74.

All in all a nice run but cannot pay for itself surely. No idea how busy it was coming down.
