I noticed that the 434 wasn't serving Cambois, North Blyth and West Sleekburn yesterday morning - according to GNE's Twitter it was due to the Spine Road being closed (caused by a serious collision between Cambois and North Seaton). Instead the service was diverted via Bomarsund, effectively cutting off the three communities for the morning. Could GNE have 'compromised' and turned the bus around on the outside of Cambois so that these villages had a service to Ashington at the very least? There wasn't really much point in running directly to/from Bedlington Station (especially with a more frequent service on the 1/19/X21).

I've attached a map to explain:
