When I've used the service in the past, most passengers appear to be key card holders so i'm not sure if it could justify the Mercs.
That said, the demo does look nice like!
Agree with you there.
Most passengers using the service, will have arrived into Gateshead on another service, so will likely have a pre-paid ticket of some description.
Obviously if it is a conc pass or Network Ticket, there will be some sort of reimbursement and some income will be allocated to the service.
