Just to add to the route traffic comments; when Air Wales dropped the Liverpool section of the Plymouth - Cardiff - Liverpool - Newcastle route they said that the decision to cut out Liverpool was because the Plymouth - Cardiff - Newcastle sectors were outperforming their other domestic routes and was proving very popular and the Liverpool legs had a "lower than average take-up rate" but they hoped to re-introduce it in the summer schedules.
Anyone able to confirm or deny this, BACX used to do the Cardiff - Newcastle sector.
