Not sure why it would cause issues stopping there now. It would certainly speed services up and assist with reliability if management of the service is going to continue as it is.

In the not so distant past, we discussed the services which customers seemingly prefer to use between Newcastle and Wrekenton. Whether it's down to the high frequency, the 'express' nature of the route, or the fact it stops in Eldon Square, service X1 carries the most passengers between these two locations - despite service 28 using the exact same route (and actually getting there in the same amount of time, if not less due to fewer passengers boarding/alighting).

It is interesting to think of what the benefits could be to the Fab56 if it were extended to serve Eldon Square, though I certainly don't believe it will happen.
