They are 2 totally different sets of passengers though. The Ten serves larger towns and settlements whereas the 74 and 684 serve more off the beaten track places like Whittington, Matfen, Dalton Heddon on the Wall and Wylam.
The 74 and 684 are more local services for local people as opposed to the brashness of the Ten, you can't really compare the 2 services
