Yesterday in fact, I was on the 13:51 51 from Wrekenton and there were only around 5 seats spare when I got off on Kells Lane, so reducing the frequency down to every 20 minutes would be a bad move in my view.
When I last used service 52 (boarded in Wrekenton, went everywhere before finally getting me to Gateshead haha) the bus slowly began to fill up, and by the time we hit Felling and Heworth etc there were standees. This was in the middle of the day as well, so I dread to think what they're like at peak times!
