Quite a big two fingers to residents of Shilbottle from Arriva... the major roadworks have been advertised many months in advance but they've decided to only tell people two days in advance that there won't be a northbound service!

What Arriva have suggested for those travelling from the south is an almost 40 minute long diversion via Alnwick - by staying on the bus to there and then getting back on it towards Newcastle... or for those travelling from Shilbottle to Alnwick to cough up more money to use Travelsure's T01. 

Probably worth noting that passengers on the 1958 departure from Newcastle won't have the luxury of a bus heading back south from Alnwick...

Obviously there is a driver shortage at the moment, so a proper shuttle bus (as per previous years) may not be possible but that wouldn't stop Arriva from at least hiring in a minibus/taxi shuttle connecting Alnwick Leisure Centre with Shilbottle and organising ticket acceptance with Travelsure?
