Newcastle to Kielder 714 sounds like a good seasonal GNE service.
(09 Jan 2022, 10:19 pm)Storx Not really any need for the 508 anymore since the X14 runs every day now. A shuttle between Rothbury and Cragside would be handy though, edit just remembered it went up by Wallington Hall etc.
The 714 wouldn't be bad again though, it ran from Newcastle to Kielder for whoever asked - http://travelnortheast.co.uk/downloads/b...-Kield.pdf.

Back in 2015 there was an 880 service from Bellingham to Kielder running two trips a day Mon - Sat but with everything PCL Ttavel got their hands on at the time, it quickly disappeared (connections to/from the GNE 680 at Bellingham).There was a regular link between the Airport and Morpeth on service 100 until 2015. https://flic.kr/p/GxmaQK
From research there used to be all sorts of weird links that ran usually once a week in Northumberland from years gone by, was a service between Morpeth to Hexham via Belsay & Maften for example, one member might like the idea of a link from Newcastle Airport to Morpeth

The 100 used to be home to Arriva Dart 1688 after it moved to Ashington after the depot at Hexham was sold to Go North East.
I recall a decent run on it when I went from Newcastle Airport to Bedlington Red Lion in April 2012, back when the 100 still served Ashington.
Here it is arriving at Newcastle Airport. https://www.flickr.com/photos/gjm-photog...0580539916
X75 returning this year, Haymarket to Wallington Hall, no start date yet.
aye, Wallington is a National Trust site as opposed to Belsay which is English Heritage. Has GNE secured funding from both or is the jolly to Wallington going to be commercial?
(11 Apr 2022, 8:03 pm)Thomas12 Am I right in thinking this is an extension to the route?
Think it only went to Belsay last year.

(11 Apr 2022, 8:42 pm)OrangeArrow49 That's correct. Wallington Hall is further away, but I wonder if the service will stop at Ponteland and Belsay the same as last year.Probs going to become a PVR of 2 now. Wonder where they will get the spare buses from.
Credit to Michael for the information from VOSA, I thought Go North East had decided against bringing the X75 back for this year.

The service will probably still only take one vehicle, just the departures will be more spreaded out to allow for the extended running times.

Still no news on X11, not surprised the B1 hasn't returned.

(14 Apr 2022, 8:50 am)OrangeArrow49 Thanks. Haymarket to Wallington via Ponteland?
I wonder if GNE All Zones tickets will be valid, or if a separate ticket will be required for the X75. Hopefully it will be popular. A shame a StreetLite will be allocated, they are quite horrible buses to ride, with so many rattles and noisy engines.
